  • a first stent for insertion in a transected vessel receiving a graft, said stent providing a rigid conduit for blood flow through said vessel and sized to allow a graft to be advanced to overlap at least part of a stented-area of said vessel; and

    a second stent for surrounding at least a part of said area of overlap between said graft and said stented area, said second stent configured to apply sealing pressure to said graft in a part of said area of overlap, whereby said first and second stents sandwich said graft to provide a fluid tight seal between said vessel and said graft.
