摘要:
A delivery system may include a stent-graft, a locking member, and one or more diameter reducing members. The stent-graft may include a tubular graft comprising first and second longitudinally extending sides disposed opposite each other and connected at a tangent line. When the locking member is in a locked position, the locking member restrains a surface of the graft against the cannula. The first diameter reducing member may be slidably connected to a first portion of the graft that is disposed proximate the tangent line and may be slidably connected to a second portion of the graft that is spaced circumferentially away from the tangent line. When the first diameter reducing member is in a restrained position, the second portion of the graft is drawn toward the first portion of the graft and the proximal portion of the stent-graft has a reduced diameter configuration with at least two lobes.
