A modular valve prosthesis includes an inflow stent, a valve component including a valve stent and a prosthetic valve, and an outflow stent. In a radially compressed delivery configuration, an inflow end of the valve stent is separated from an outflow end of the inflow stent and an outflow end of the valve stent is separated from an inflow end of the outflow stent. In a radially expanded deployed configuration, the inflow end of the valve stent is in contact with the outflow end of the inflow stent and the outflow end of the valve stent is in contact with the inflow end of the outflow stent. A delivery system includes a capsule including first, second and third sections and flexible first and second bands between respective sections. The modules of the modular valve prosthesis are aligned with the sections and gaps between the modules are aligned with the bands.

A stent includes a first longitudinally extended cylinder having a C-shaped cross-section and a second longitudinally extended cylinder having a C-shaped cross-section. The first cylinder includes a plurality of first longitudinal struts and an array of first radial struts extending between the first longitudinal struts. The second cylinder includes a plurality of second longitudinal struts and an array of second radial struts extending between the second longitudinal struts. The first cylinder and the second cylinder are configured to form a dense mesh structure when assembled. When assembled, the second cylinder may be disposed in the first cylinder. The first cylinder may overlap with the second cylinder to form the dense mesh structure.

A stent graft includes a tubular aortic component that defines a lumen and a fenestration with a pocket at the fenestration. At least one proximal tunnel graft extends proximally within the lumen from the proximal opening of the pocket and is secured at a proximal end to the tubular component, and at least one distal tunnel graft extends distally within the lumen from the distal opening of the pocket and is secured at a distal end to the tubular aortic component. The stent graft can further include at least one branch stent graft, each of which extends through the fenestration and within at least one of the proximal tunnel graft or the distal tunnel graft. The stent graft can be implanted in a patient to thereby treat an aneurysm, such as a suprarenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.

The present application discloses a covered stent and a method for navigating the covered stent to a branch vessel, the covered stent comprising a main body and at least one lateral side branch connected to the main body, wherein the lateral side branch is flexible and expandable. A system of covered stents and a method for interconnecting the covered stents is also disclosed.
