Abstract:
A system for delivering a surgical staple can include various components. The system may include an elongate body with a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of delivery platforms disposed adjacent the distal end. A sheath can move relative to the elongate body from a first position in which the distal end of the sheath is disposed distally of a distal-most distal delivery platform to a second position in which the distal end of the sheath is disposed proximally of at least one delivery platform. A plurality of intravascular tacks can be within the system with each disposed about a corresponding delivery platform.

Claim (Index 21):
A system for delivering a vascular prosthesis, comprising:\n an elongate body defining a longitudinal axis and comprising a proximal end, a distal end, and a plurality of delivery platforms disposed adjacent the distal end of the elongate body, each delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms comprising a recess extending distally of a radial protrusion; a balloon on an outer surface of the elongate body between a distal tip of the distal end of the elongate body and the distal-most delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms, the balloon being axially fixed in position on the elongate body with respect to the plurality of delivery platforms; a sheath having a proximal end, a distal end, and a sheath elongate body extending therebetween, the sheath being moveable relative to the elongate body from a first position in which the distal end of the sheath is disposed distally of a distal-most delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms to a second position in which the distal end of the sheath is disposed proximally of at least the distal-most delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms and the balloon; a plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses, each vascular prosthesis of the plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses comprising at least one radiopaque marker at a midline of the vascular prosthesis, and each vascular prosthesis of the plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses being disposed about a corresponding delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms; wherein the system is configured to separately place at least two self-expanding vascular prostheses of the plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses, one at a time, at a treatment zone at spaced apart locations along a vessel wall; and wherein the balloon is configured for post deployment dilation of the at least two placed self-expanding vascular prostheses of the plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses, the balloon being configured to be positioned within one of the at least two placed self-expanding vascular prostheses of the plurality of self-expanding vascular prostheses and inflated to engage the one placed self-expanding vascular prosthesis of the at least two placed self-expanding vascular prostheses with outward pressure from an outer surface of the balloon and to enhance placement of the one placed self-expanding vascular prosthesis of the at least two placed self-expanding vascular prostheses against the vessel wall.
