Abstract

See full text

A prosthetic vessel graft assembly has a tube of synthetic graft material surrounding a stent at its distal end, together with a plurality of collapsible anchors projecting radially from the stent. The assembly mounts on an introducer that may be tunneled through skin or inserted in an opening and pushed down to a vessel for introducing the graft through the vessel side wall. The introducer is configured to follow a guide wire which is inserted via a needle through an opening in the side wall of the vessel. A peel-away sheath covers the stent, graft, and anchor members at the distal end keeping them collapsed against the tubular body.
