"ALIGNMENT MEMBER FOR PLACING A NON SYMMETRIC DEVICE WITH A PRESET ORIENTATION". A device and method for placing an object within a patient, wherein the object is placed in a preferred orientation with respect to the place of placement on the patient. The placement device has an alignment member that allows the object to be placed intravascularly at the patient placement site, where the object is placed in a predetermined orientation. The object may, for example, be non-symmetrical or include a configuration that requires placement with only orientation to the placement location. Such objects may be used, for example, to treat certain defects or injuries to vessels or organs within a patient's body.
