1. A method of delivering and deploying a radially expandable prosthesis using a delivery and deployment device, the delivery and deployment device comprising a prosthesis, a proximal release mechanism releasably retaining a proximal portion of the prosthesis and having a first resistance, and a distal release mechanism releasably retaining a distal portion of the prosthesis and having a second resistance, the method comprising the steps of:

  • biasing in the delivery and deployment device the relationship between the first resistance and the second resistance;

    positioning the delivery and deployment device so that the prosthesis is adjacent an area to be treated; and

    actuating the proximal and distal release mechanisms in a single coordinated movement so that the proximal release mechanism releases the proximal portion of the prosthesis and the distal release mechanism releases the distal portion of the prosthesis in a predetermined manner.
