Abstract

See full text

A device is used for deploying a prosthesis to vessel portions of a body vessel. The device can include a retaining member and a sheath. The retaining member, such as clamps, is movable between closed and open positions. In the closed position, the retaining member compresses an intermediate segment of the prosthesis. In the open position, the retaining member is positioned away from the prosthesis to allow for expansion of the intermediate segment. The sheath compresses an outer segment of the prosthesis, where the outer segment is associated with a first or second outer end of the prosthesis. The sheath is removable from the outer segment to allow for expansion thereof when the retaining member is in the closed position. An actuation member is operable to move the retaining member between the closed and open positions. Clamps are pivotable in response to movement of the actuation member.
