1. A delivery system for delivering a vascular prosthesis within a vessel, the vascular prosthesis having a contracted delivery configuration and a deployed configuration, the delivery system comprising:

  • a delivery wire;

    a loader tube having a distal end and a lumen of a first diameter configured to constrain the vascular prosthesis to the delivery wire in the contracted delivery configuration; and

    a sheath having a proximal end and a lumen of a second diameter, the second diameter dimensioned to accept the delivery wire and the vascular prosthesis while retaining the vascular prosthesis in the contracted delivery configuration; and

    a coupling configured to engage the distal end of the loader tube to the proximal end of the sheath to enable the vascular prosthesis to be advanced from the loader tube to a target location within the vessel.
