Disclosed herein are instruments, systems, and methods for coupling an artificial implant to a fenestrated body. In some embodiments, a branched stent graft is provided. The branch stent graft may include an engagement portion for engaging an opening in a fenestrated body, such as a vessel wall or an aortic stent graft. The engagement portion of the branch stent graft is such that the branch stent graft can be moved, rotated or displaced relative to the fenestrated body, but axial movement of the branched stent graft is limited and / or prevented. Can be combined. [Selection] Figure 10 |
