1. A system for the delivery and deployment of an endovascular graft comprising:
- a. a delivery device comprising;
i. a pusher catheter having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and at least one lumen extending at least partially between the proximal and distal end portions;
ii. a guide wire cannula having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and extending longitudinally within the lumen of the pusher catheter;
b. a stent graft carried on the delivery device, the stent graft comprising;
i. a main tubular body of a biocompatible graft material having a proximal end and a distal end defining a main lumen therebetween,ii. a side branch extending from the main tubular body, the side branch having a lumen extending therethrough and being in fluid communication with the main lumen,c. an auxiliary guide wire extending proximally within the lumen of the pusher catheter and into the distal end of the main tubular body of the stent graft, the auxiliary guide wire further extending distally through at least a portion of the lumen of the side branch and through the lumen of the pusher catheter.

17. A system for the delivery and deployment of an endovascular graft comprising:
-
a. a delivery device comprising; i. a pusher catheter having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and a first, second and third lumen extending at least partially between the proximal and distal end portions; ii. an auxiliary sheath having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion extending longitudinally within the first lumen of the pusher catheter; iii. a guide wire cannula having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and extending longitudinally within the second lumen of the pusher catheter; b. a stent graft carried on the delivery device, the stent graft comprising; i. a main tubular body of a biocompatible graft material having a proximal end and a distal end defining a main lumen therebetween, ii. a side branch extending from the main tubular body, the side branch having a lumen extending therethrough and being in fluid communication with the main lumen, whereby the stent graft is configured to be deployed into the vasculature of a patient with the main tubular body being located in the common iliac artery and the side branch being directed towards an internal iliac artery of the common iliac artery; c. an auxiliary guide wire extending proximally within the lumen of the auxiliary sheath and into the distal end of the main tubular body of the stent graft, the auxiliary guide wire further extending distally through at least a portion of the lumen of the side branch and through the third lumen of the pusher catheter. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method for treating a diseased vessel, the method comprising:
-
a. introducing a first delivery device into a patient'"'"'s vasculature comprising a common iliac artery, the delivery device comprising; i. a pusher catheter having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion and a lumen extending therebetween; ii. an auxiliary sheath having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion extending longitudinally within the lumen of the pusher catheter; iii. a first prosthesis carried on the first delivery device, the first prosthesis comprising a main tubular body of a biocompatible graft material having a proximal end portion and a distal end portion defining a main lumen therebetween and a side branch extending from the main tubular body, the side branch having a lumen extending therethrough and being in fluid communication with the main lumen, whereby the first prosthesis is configured to be deployed into the vasculature of a patient with the main tubular body being located in the common iliac artery and the side branch being directed towards an internal iliac artery of the common iliac artery; iv. an auxiliary guide wire extending longitudinally in a proximal direction within the lumen of the auxiliary sheath and into the distal end of the main tubular body of the stent graft, the auxiliary guide wire further extending through at least a portion of the lumen of the side branch and extending longitudinally in a distal direction through the lumen of the pusher catheter; b. at least partially deploying the first prosthesis in the common iliac artery; c. introducing a second delivery device ipsilaterally though the lumen of the main tubular body and through the lumen of the side branch of the first prosthesis, the second delivery device carrying a second prosthesis thereon, the second prosthesis comprising a tubular body defining a lumen; d. positioning the second prosthesis within the internal iliac artery; e. at least partially deploying the second prosthesis in the internal iliac artery.
