Abstract
An endovascular graft having at least two barrier sections coupled to form a substantially tubular member. The barrier sections are coupled or connected to each other so as to allow relative axial displacement of the sections. The axial displacement of the barrier sections of the graft allows for a reduced profile and increased flexibility during delivery of the device to a desired site for deployment. The device may be delivered percutaneously or intraoperatively.
