Each of the first and second tubular medical devices including a tubular body having a plurality of slits extending through a sidewall to form a plurality of first and second sidewall segments respectively. The radial expansion of the first tubular medical device forms an alternating pattern of flared first side wall segments and slits disposed adjacent to a body vessel wall. The radial expansion of the second tubular medical device forms an alternating pattern of flared second sidewall segments and slits. The second tubular medical device is rotationally aligned with the first tubular medical device such that the flared second sidewall segments at least partially cover the slits disposed adjacent the body vessel wall of the first tubular medical device.
