1. A method comprising:
introducing a single branch stent device via femoral access;
advancing the single branch stent device into the ascending aorta;
deploying the single branch stent device such that a main body of the single branch stent device engages the aorta and a branch coupling perfuses the brachiocephalic artery;
advancing a modular stent device such that a main body of the modular stent device is located within the main body of the single branch stent device; and
deploying the modular stent device such that the main body of the modular stent device and an artery branch of the modular stent device engage the main body of the single branch stent device, a bypass gate of the modular stent device extends within the aorta, and the artery branch of the modular stent device is located within an artery distal of the brachiocephalic artery, wherein a distal end of the bypass gate terminates at or near the left subclavian artery after the second deploying step.
