1. A method comprising:
endovascularly deploying a first prosthetic component into an arch of an aorta such that the first prosthetic component spans a supra-aortic branch of the aorta, wherein the first prosthetic component defines an expandable stent frame and a sealing cuff protruding from a proximal lumen of the first prosthetic component,
endovascularly deploying a second prosthetic component into at least a portion of an ascending portion of the aorta until the second prosthetic component is secured to the first prosthetic component, wherein the second prosthetic component defines an expandable stent frame,
wherein a distal portion of the second prosthetic component is received within the sealing cuff by an interference fit between the distal portion of the second prosthetic component and the sealing cuff, wherein the interference fit is created by expansion of the distal portion of the second prosthetic component from an initially contracted orientation into an expanded orientation into engagement with the sealing cuff,
wherein the sealing cuff is covered with a graft material and the distal portion of the second prosthetic component received within the sealing cuff is covered with a graft material to cooperatively seal the first prosthetic component and the second prosthetic component;
endovascularly deploying a branch graft into one of the supra-aortic branches through an opening defined in the first prosthetic component.
