Abstract: Methods for delivering a vascular prosthesis to a treatment site of a subject include advancing the vascular prosthesis, rotating a proximal handle in a first direction about a handle body, shifting the position of a first locking component securing the proximal handle to the push rod from a first position to a second position, rotating the proximal handle in a second direction, releasing the proximal end of the prosthesis from the apex delivery device, shifting the second locking component to disengage the push rod from the handle body; and withdrawing the push rod and the guidewire catheter from within the prosthesis, thereby delivering the vascular prosthesis to the treatment site.

Abstract: An aortic graft assembly includes a tubular component that defines a wall aperture having a proximal end that extends perpendicular to a major longitudinal axis of the tubular aortic component, and a tunnel graft connected to the wall of the tubular aortic component and extending from the wall aperture toward a proximal end of the tubular aortic component. The method for delivery of the aortic graft assembly includes delivering the aortic graft assembly through the wall aperture and into interfering relation with the tunnel graft.

Abstract: A method of releasing a bare stent of a stent graft includes moving a lumen, to which a proximal apex capture portion of an apex capture device is fixed, the proximal apex capture portion defining a radial restraint, along a major axis between a first position, in which tines of the proximal apex capture portion are mated with slots of a distal apex capture portion and overlie bosses extending radially from a major axis of the apex capture device, and a second position, in which the tines are not mated with the slots and do not overlie the bosses, to thereby release apices of a bare stent from a space defined by the tines, the bosses and the distal apex capture portion.
