1. A device for positioning in a vessel, the device comprising:

  • a supporting segment comprised of a flexible material having a substantially tubular configuration and a supporting member comprised of a substantially rigid material, said supporting segment comprising a supporting segment proximal end and a supporting segment distal end;

    an extending segment having a substantially tubular configuration comprising a flexible inverting portion comprised of a flexible material, said flexible inverting portion having a flexible inverting portion proximal end and a flexible inverting portion distal end; and

    an internal supporting member comprised of a rigid material, said internal supporting member having an internal supporting member proximal end and an internal supporting member distal end, said internal supporting member proximal end attached to said flexible inverting portion proximal end at an attachment area, wherein in an initial configuration, said flexible inverting portion is inverted such that said flexible inverting portion proximal end is distal to said flexible inverting portion distal end and said internal supporting member is distal to said flexible inverting portion, and wherein in a deployed configuration, said flexible inverting portion is un-inverted such that said flexible inverting portion proximal end is proximal to said flexible inverting portion distal end and said internal supporting member is positioned within said flexible inverting portion; and

    a bypass segment comprised of a flexible material having a substantially tubular configuration comprising a bypass segment proximal end and a bypass segment distal end, wherein said supporting segment, said extending segment and said bypass segment are in fluid communication with one another, and wherein said supporting segment proximal end, said extending segment distal end and said bypass segment proximal end are connected at a connecting area.
