Delivery system and method for bifurcated graft
First Claim
1. A delivery system for a bifurcated intracorporeal device comprising:
- a shaft having a distal section supporting;
a primary support member positioned to be disposed within at least a primary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device; and
a secondary support member adjacent the primary support member and positioned to be disposed within a secondary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device;
at least one belt configured to be circumferentially disposed about a portion of the secondary support member so to at least partially constrain the secondary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device;
a tube including a distal end which is directly connected to the secondary support member such that movement of the tube is translated to a corresponding force on the secondary support member; and
a release member configured to engage and releasably secure the belt in a constraining configuration, the release member extending through at least a portion of the tube such that the release member is accessible adjacent a proximal end of the tube.

Abstract
A delivery system and method for delivering a bifurcated intracorporeal device. The delivery system comprises a shaft having a distal section supporting a primary support member positioned to be disposed within at least a primary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device and a secondary support member extending within a secondary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device. At least one belt is configured to be circumferentially disposed about a portion of the secondary support member so to at least partially constrain the secondary portion of the bifurcated intracorporeal device. A tube defining a lumen is secured relative to the secondary support member. A release member is configured to engage and releasably secure the belt in a constraining configuration. The release member extends through at least a portion of the tube lumen such that the release member is accessible adjacent a proximal end of the tube.
