1. A vascular prosthetic graft device comprising:
a first component comprising a graft material;
a second component comprising a graft material, wherein the second component is engaged with the first component and defines a radially outwardly extending shoulder that extends outwardly of a major diameter of one of the first component or the second component, and wherein at least one of the first and second components is supported by wire frame material;
a first stent member;
wherein a first opening is defined on the shoulder for receiving one end of the first stent member;
a second stent member;
wherein a second opening is defined on the shoulder for receiving one end of the second stent member;
a first branch component attached to the second component and positioned at least partially within a chamber of the second component, wherein the first branch component defines a first passageway for receiving the one end of the first stent member, and wherein an outer side wall of the first branch component is removably coupled to an inner wall of the second component by a first fastener; and
a second branch component attached to the second component and positioned at least partially within the chamber of the second component, wherein the second branch component defines a second passageway for receiving the one end of the second stent member, and wherein an outer side wall of the second branch component is removably coupled to the inner wall of the second component by a second fastener;
wherein the first fastener comprises:
a plurality of first loops extending from the outer side wall of the first branch component;
a plurality of second loops extending from the inner wall of the second component; and
a first wire removably extending through the first loops and the second loops, wherein removal of the first wire from the first loops and the second loops allows a distal end of the first branch component to move freely within the chamber of the second component; and
wherein the second fastener comprises:
a plurality of third loops extending from the outer side wall of the second branch component;
a plurality of fourth loops extending from the inner wall of the second component; and
a second wire removably extending through the third loops and the fourth loops, wherein removal of the second wire from the third loops and the fourth loops allows a distal end of the second branch component to move freely within the chamber of the second component.
