1. A prosthesis delivery system comprising:
- an elongate flexible guide having a proximal section and a distal section, the distal section configured for mounting a prosthesis and having a first radially extending member positioned proximal to a distal end of the elongate guide, the first radially extending member having a proximal side and a distal side, the prosthesis mounted on the distal section of the elongate guide and having a body comprising proximal and distal ends, the prosthesis having first and second locking members coupled to the proximal end of the prosthesis body, the first locking member positioned on the proximal side of the first radially extending member, the second locking member positioned on the distal side of the first radially extending member; and
a sheath disposed over at least a portion of the elongate guide to constrain the prosthesis on the elongate guide.

Abstract
A prosthesis delivery system including a prosthesis mounted on an elongate member. The prosthesis has longitudinally offset first and second locking members positioned on the prosthesis. The first and second locking members are configured to engage opposing proximal and distal sides of a radially extending member on the elongate member to lock or limit the longitudinal position of the prosthesis on the elongate member during delivery of the prosthesis to a treatment site.
