Abstract:
1. A delivery system for delivering and deploying a stent graft having distal and proximal stents, comprising: a) a guidewire catheter having a proximal end, a distal end and defining an interior extending along a longitudinal axis; b) a nose cone assembly at the distal end of the guidewire catheter, the nose cone assembly including a nose cone and a distal capture portion proximal to the nose cone; c) a proximal capture portion along the longitudinal axis and proximal to the distal capture portion of the nose cone assembly; and d) a stent graft including a graft component having a proximal end and a distal end, a proximal stent at the proximal end of the graft component and a distal stent at the distal end of the graft component, wherein the proximal stent is radially constrained from within the stent graft by the distal capture portion and the distal stent is releasably secured to the proximal capture portion.
