1. A prosthesis assembly comprising:
a first prosthetic component that is configured to engage a first portion of an aorta, wherein the first prosthetic component defines:
a first stent device having a wireframe assembly, the wireframe assembly defining an uncovered top portion that spans but does not extend into, a brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery when placed within an aortic arch of a patient, wherein blood flows through the uncovered top portion into at least one of the brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery when the prosthesis assembly has been implanted; and
a prosthesis portion on a proximal end thereof and engaged with the wireframe assembly, wherein the prosthesis portion is a graft material and is configured to engage with a first portion of the aorta; and
a second prosthetic component that is configured to engage a second portion of the aorta that is spaced-apart from the first portion,
wherein the first prosthetic component is distal to the second prosthetic component and is configured to engage the first portion of the aorta,
wherein the second prosthetic component is stitchably secured to the first prosthetic component and located at the second portion of the aorta when the prosthesis assembly is placed within the aortic arch to thereby define a total length of the combined first and second prosthetic components.
