1. A modular endovascular graft device for treating vasculature, comprising:
- a first graft component having a first wall; and
a second graft component having a second wall, the second graft component including a frame with a plurality of radially extending components which upon assembling the first and second components, at least one of the plurality of the radially extending components extends through both the first wall and the second wall.

Abstract
The present invention embodies an endovascular graft having an attachment frame connection mechanism that allows placement of the main body component in vasculature in combination with limb components. Various limb component-to-main body component attachment mechanisms are provided which ensure a reliable bond while facilitating a smaller delivery profile.

18. A modular graft device for treating vasculature, comprising:
-
a first graft component;
a second graft component; and
a mechanical joint between the first and second graft components, the mechanical joint having structure such that the bond between the first and second graft components is strengthened as the longitudinal load on the mechanical joint increases. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
