Abstract
An endoluminal stent graft deployment system useful for deployment of a limb of a branched stent graft (16) into a blind vessel. The branched stent graft has a main body (16) and a limb (19) extending from the body. The branched stent graft is mounted on a deployment device which has a separate deflecting guide wire (14) extending into the limb. The method of deploying the branched stent graft into a blind vessel in a human or animal body includes the step of releasing the limb from the deployment device, extending the guide wire from the limb into the blind vessel, manipulating the deployment device by withdrawing the deployment device slightly to cause the limb to enter the blind vessel assisted by the guide wire and releasing the stent graft from the deployment device.
