A system to deliver a prosthesis for repair of a transected body vessel is described herein. The system can have a prosthesis and a plurality of distinct strands. A releasable loop can be formed at a distal end of each strand and positioned to retain one of a plurality of portions of the prosthesis in a compressed configuration. Each portion of the prosthesis can be independently movable between the compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. Retraction of the proximal end or severing the loop of any one of the strands can cause the corresponding loop to release to allow the corresponding portion of the prosthesis to expand from the compressed configuration to the expanded configuration. The prosthesis can couple two vessel portions of the transected vessel together to allow for blood perfusion and maintain hemostasis.
