Abstract
A method of using a delivery system includes advancing a stent to be located within an ostium of a vessel; advancing a basket actuation button of a handle to deploy a basket of the basket assembly; moving the basket into engagement with a parent vessel, the basket having a larger diameter than a diameter of the ostium; deploying the stent within an ostial lesion of the vessel; and contracting the basket.

28. A method comprising:
-
deploying a graft within a parent vessel, said graft comprising a branch vessel opening;
advancing a stent to be located within said branch vessel opening;
retracting a sheath to deploy basket splines, said basket splines comprising basket spline tips;
moving said basket spline tips into engagement with said graft, said basket spline tips defining a forward stop having a larger diameter than a diameter of said branch vessel opening;
deploying said stent within said branch vessel opening; and
advancing said sheath to collapse said basket splines.
