The delivery tool has a generally elongated shape with a selectively expandable distal end region that flares outward in diameter. Once advanced percutaneously within a patient's vessel, the delivery device can help locate a target area, assist in deploying a prosthesis at a desired position and further expand the prosthesis after deployment. The invention further describes a method of percutaneously delivering a prosthesis.
