摘要：
A method for implanting a prosthesis centrally within a curved lumen includesloading a prosthesis into a delivery sheath, advancing the sheath in a patienttowards the curved lumen to place at least the proximal end of the prosthesis withinthe curved lumen, and centering the proximal end of the prosthesis and/or thedistal end of the sheath within the curved lumen. In a first advancing step, theouter catheter containing the inner sheath is advanced together towards thecurved lumen to a location proximal of the curved lumen and, in a second advancingstep, the inner sheath containing the prosthesis is advanced into the curvedlumen to place at least the proximal end within the curved lumen while the outercatheter substantially remains at the location. After centering, the proximalend of the prosthesis is deployed centered within the curved lumen.
