Abstract

See full text

A stent graft delivery device (30) has a pull wire arrangement with a pull wire (46) fastened to the distal end of a nose cone dilator (45) and extending to a wire pull mechanism (60) for the pull wire associated with a handle (52) of the stent graft delivery device. The pull wire can be pulled by the wire pull mechanism to induce a curve in a guide wire catheter (44) distally of the nose cone dilator such that the proximal end of the delivery device more closely fits the shape of a portion of the vasculature of a patient into which the device is deployed.
