Abstract
Vascular devices and methods for addressing pathologies in the hemiarch of the aorta are provided. The device includes a main body and a secondary body. The main body has ends that are designed to be connected to corresponding ends of the native blood vessel. The secondary body has a free end and a fixed end that is engaged with an inner surface of the main body. The vascular device is movable from a retracted configuration, in which the secondary body is at least partially contained within the main body and the free end is on a proximal side of the fixed end, to an extended configuration, in which the secondary body is extended distally from the main body and the free end is on a distal side of the fixed end to address defects in the aorta downstream of the hemiarch.
