A device and method for treating pathological narrowing of fluid-carrying
conduits of the human body (such as blood vessels) in an area of a
bifurcation is disclosed. In particular, a stent delivery system
configured to carry one or more of a pair of dissimilar stents. At least
one of the stents is particularly suited for treating a widened portion
of a blood vessel immediately proximal to a bifurcation. The stent
delivery system can also include a handpiece adapted to selectively
deliver the stents.
