1. An assembly comprising:

  • a deployment device comprising;

    a rod translatable within an aorta of a patient and having an operator end and a distal end;

    one or more radially constraining members;

    a first release wire configured for releasing the one or more radially constraining members, anda stent device comprising;

    a distal portion for being engageably received in the aortic arch of the patient and extending beyond the left subclavian artery when implanted;

    a stent portion fluidly engaged with the distal portion, wherein the stent portion comprises an uncovered, braided stent member,wherein the stent portion is configured to span a portion of the aortic arch to which the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery attach when implanted in the aortic arch such that blood flows through the uncovered, braided stent member into the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery;

    a proximal portion fluidly engaged with the stent portion,wherein the stent device is configured to be engaged with the deployment device so as to be deployed within the aorta of the patient in a deployed configuration while allowing a diameter and a length of the stent device to be varied to conform to that of the patient'"'"'s aortic anatomy;

    wherein the stent device includes a collar engaged with the proximal portion, the collar configured for being selectively engaged with the aorta and being formed of a graft material,wherein the stent device is engaged with the deployment device in an initial configuration, wherein the one or more radially constraining members are configured to constrain a diameter of the stent device, andwherein the diameter and the length of the stent device in the deployed configuration can be altered by axial translation of the rod and releasing the one or more of the radially constraining members by translation of the first release wire, wherein the one or more radially constraining members comprise at least one slip joint and wrap around the stent portion at spaced-apart portions along a length of the stent portion extending from about a proximal end to about a distal end of the stent portion.
