Claim 6:
7. A temporary system for securing a stent graft to a catheter of a stent graft delivery system comprising:
a stent graft having a proximal end, a distal end, an internal lumen between the proximal end and the distal end, a graft material tube, a graft material sidewall, at least one fenestration within the graft material sidewall, and a plurality longitudinally spaced apart self-expanding stents attached to the graft material sidewall and including at least an end stent and a plurality of intermediate stents;
an elongate receiver extending longitudinally through the lumen of the stent graft;
at least a first wire extending longitudinally along only a first side of the graft material tube in a first undulating serpentine pattern, the first wire repeatedly penetrating the graft material tube from inside the graft material tube to outside the graft material tube and then penetrating the tubular wall back from outside the graft material tube to inside the graft material tube such that a portion of the at least one wire extends over the elongate receiver along a longitudinal length of the elongate receiver to secure the elongate receiver at least partially to an internal wall of the stent graft.
