Abstract:
A system for deploying a stent graft includes a stent graft. The stent graft has a tubular structure and includes first and second end stents and at least one stent between the first and second end stents. The system also includes a plurality of constraining mechanisms arranged along the length of the stent graft constraining the stents of the stent graft, and an actuation mechanism configured to release the plurality of constraining mechanisms in order from the first end to the second end of the stent graft and circumferentially sequentially from about the stents.
