1. For a bifurcated vasculature having a vascular trunk dividing into a first vascular branch and a second vascular branch at a vascular intersection, a system comprising:

  • a first trunk section including;

    a first elongated member having a first end and a second end;

    a second elongated member having a first end and a second end, the second elongated member extending in juxtaposition with and spaced apart from the first elongated member;

    a first arch member extending between the first end of the first elongated member and the first end of the second elongated member, the first arch having an apex; and

    a second arch member extending between the second end of the first elongated member and the second end of the second elongated member, the second arch member having an apex, the apex of the first arch member spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member; and

    a second trunk section including;

    a first elongated member having a first end and a second end;

    a second elongated member having a first end and a second end, the second elongated member extending in juxtaposition with and spaced apart from the first elongated member;

    a first arch member extending between the first end of the first elongated member and the first end of the second elongated member, the first arch having an apex; and

    a second arch member extending between the second end of the first elongated member and the second end of the second elongated member, the second arch member having an apex, the apex of the first arch member spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member, the first elongated member of the first trunk section coupled with and extending in juxtaposition with the first elongated member of the second trunk section, the second elongated member of the first trunk section coupled with and extending in juxtaposition with the second elongated member of the second trunk section, the apex of the first arch member of the first trunk section spaced apart from the apex of the first arch member of the second trunk section, and the apex of the second arch member of the first trunk section spaced apart from the apex of the second arch member of the second trunk section, the first trunk section and the second trunk section sized and coupled together to be inserted in the vascular trunk for at least a portion of the first elongated member and the second elongated member of the first trunk section to contact and extend along a portion of the vascular trunk, for at least a portion of the first elongated member and the second elongated member of the second trunk section to contact and extend along a portion of the vascular trunk, for at least a portion of the first arch member and the second arch member of the of the first trunk section to contact a portion of the vascular trunk and for at least a portion of the first arch member and the second arch member of the second trunk section to contact a portion of the vascular trunk.
