Abstract
An insertion apparatus comprises an introducer sheath, a surgical component, at least two attachment wires, and a longitudinal wire. The insertion apparatus is used for deploying a surgical component to a site in a vessel. The introducer sheath has a lumen, a proximal opening and a distal opening with an appropriate diameter and length allowing fro insertion and navigation through the vessel. The surgical component has a tube portion with a top and at least one limb. The surgical component corresponds to the site in the vessel and fits within the lumen of the introducer sheath. The attachment wires have a first and a second end. The first end is releasably connected to the top of the surgical component and the second end converges above the top of the surgical component. The activation of a releasing mechanism releases the first end from the top of the surgical component. The longitudinal wire anchors from the second end extending through the surgical component and through the introducer sheath to the releasing mechanism outside the vessel.
