Abstract: An endovascular delivery system includes a bifurcated prosthesis disposed on a delivery device and a snare catheter having a snare opening system. A sheath is slidably disposed over at least a portion of the prosthesis and at least a portion of the snare catheter. One end of the snare catheter resides external to the prosthesis in the delivery system and the other end at least partially resides in a limb of the prosthesis. A snare mechanism is disposed within the snare catheter that is capable of forming a loop external to the snare catheter through the opening and snaring a guidewire for placement in a limb of the prosthesis.

Abstract: A system and method for endoluminal grafting of a main anatomical conduit (e.g., the aorta) and various branch conduits (e.g., side branch vessels such as the carotid, innominate, subclavian, intercostal, superior mesenteric, celiac, or renal arteries-or furcations such as the iliac arteries) which emanate from the main anatomical conduit. The grafting system generally comprises i) a primary graft having at least one opening therein and ii) at least one branch graft which is passable through the opening of the primary graft and into the branch conduit(s) such that the proximal end of each branch graft is in substantially fluid-tight sealing contact with the primary graft. Also disclosed is a specific system and method for grafting a bifurcated anatomical conduit (e.g.
