Abstract

Devices for delivering and deploying an endoluminal prosthesis are disclosed and comprise a delivery catheter, an endoluminal prosthesis disposed at a distal end portion of the delivery catheter, and a wire. The prosthesis comprises a tubular graft having at least one fenestration. The wire extends distally from a first wire end through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter and the prosthesis, and through the fenestration in the graft. The wire extends proximally through a lumen of the prosthesis and through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter towards a second wire end. Additional devices, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Claims (25)

1. A system comprising:

an endoluminal prosthesis comprising a tubular body comprising a graft material wall, a proximal end opening, a distal end opening, and a lumen extending longitudinally therein; a first fenestration in the graft material wall, a second fenestration in the graft material wall; and

a guide wire having a first end and a second end both extending from a region proximal of the proximal end opening of the tubular body, the guide wire entering the proximal end opening and extending through the lumen, exiting the lumen through the first fenestration to an exterior of the tubular graft body, partially longitudinally traversing an exterior surface of the endoluminal prosthesis in a distal direction, re-entering the lumen through a first opening in the graft, partially laterally traversing an interior surface of the endoluminal prosthesis, exiting the lumen through a second opening in the graft, partially longitudinally traversing the exterior surface of the prosthesis in a proximal direction to the second fenestration, entering the second fenestration and the lumen, and exiting the proximal end opening of the prosthesis.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the guide wire traverses the interior surface of the prosthesis above the first and second openings.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the guide wire traverses the interior surface of the prosthesis substantially between the first and second openings.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the guide wire distal to the fenestrations is secured to a surface of the tubular graft body.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the surface is the exterior surface.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the guide wire is secured to the surface of the tubular graft body at first and second points on the surface of the tubular graft body.

7. A device for delivering and deploying an endoluminal prosthesis, the device comprising:

a delivery catheter having at least one axial lumen extending therethrough; and

an endoluminal prosthesis disposed at a distal end portion of the delivery catheter and comprising a tubular graft having first opening at a first end, a second opening at a second end, a lumen between the first and second ends, and first and second fenestrations in the graft between the first and second ends; and

a wire comprising first and second ends, each disposed at a proximal end portion of the delivery catheter, and a body portion disposed between the first and second ends of the wire;

wherein the wire extends distally from the first wire end through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter, extends into the lumen of the prosthesis, exits the lumen of the prosthesis through the first fenestration in the tubular graft, traverses a portion of an exterior surface of the prosthesis, re-enters the lumen of the prosthesis through the second fenestration, extends proximally through the lumen of the prosthesis and through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter towards the second wire end.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one axial lumen comprises first and second lumens, wherein a first portion of the body portion extends through the first axial lumen and a second portion of the body portion extends through the second axial lumen.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first and second axial lumens are first and second auxiliary catheters.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second auxiliary catheters each comprise a sheath and an elongate dilator slidably disposed in the sheath.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the first and second auxiliary catheters each comprise a sheath.

12. A device for delivering and deploying an endoluminal prosthesis, the device comprising:

a delivery catheter having at least one axial lumen extending therethrough; and

an endoluminal prosthesis disposed at a distal end portion of the delivery catheter and comprising a tubular graft having first opening at a first end, a second opening at a second end, a lumen between the first and second ends, and first and second fenestrations in the graft between the first and second ends; and

a wire comprising first and second ends, each disposed at a proximal end portion of the delivery catheter, and a body portion disposed between the first and second ends of the wire;

wherein the wire extends distally from the first wire end through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter, extends into the lumen of the prosthesis, exits the lumen of the prosthesis through the first fenestration in the tubular graft, traverses a portion of an exterior surface of the prosthesis, re-enters the lumen of the prosthesis through a first opening in the tubular graft, traverses a portion of an interior surface of the prosthesis, exits the lumen of the prosthesis through a second opening in the tubular graft, re-enters the lumen of the prosthesis through the second fenestration, extends proximally through the lumen of the prosthesis and through an axial lumen of the delivery catheter towards the second wire end.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the axial lumen comprises first and second axial lumens, wherein a first portion of the guide wire extends through the first axial lumen and second portion of the guide extends through the second axial lumen.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein the first and second axial lumens are sheaths configured to receive second and third guidewires.

15. The device of claim 12 , wherein the guidewire is slidably secured to a surface of the tubular graft.
