摘要:
A system (10) for implanting a prosthesis includes a control lumen (12) and a nose cone (18) affixed at a distal end of the control lumen. At least one supporting wire (22, 23) is affixed at one end, is substantially parallel to a major axis of the control lumen and is free at an opposite end, wherein the free end (26, 27) of at least one of the supporting wires is arcuate. Alternatively, a system for implanting a prosthesis includes at least one suture (130) extending from a nose cone affixed to a distal end of a control lumen, The suture extends from the nose cone to a proximal end to a stent graft (128) extending about the control lumen and from the stent graft to a fixed location on the control lumen. The suture is releasable from the stent graft by remote activation, whereby the suture separates from the nose cone to thereby deploy the stent graft.
