ADJUSTABLE AND RETRIEVABLE GRAFT AND GRAFT DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR STENT-GRAFT SYSTEM

摘要

Graft apparatus, delivery devices and methods for use in stent-graft systems are provided for use in treating aneurysms occurring in hollow-body organs or vessels, and for treating arteriovenous fistulas. The graft (10) and graft delivery devices provide the clinician with complete control over the location of the graft (10) at any time prior to implantation of the stents (51), even when the graft is completely deployed from its introducer catheter (20). The graft and graft delivery devices also permit retrieval of the graft should it be desired to substitute a graft of a different size or to abort the procedure.
