Abstract
A pre-loaded prosthesis delivery device is described. In one example, the prosthesis delivery device is pre-loaded with a single wire that allows the device to be tracked into place within a vessel and also facilitates cannulation of a branch vessel. The delivery device further comprises a prosthesis that is releasably coupled to a delivery catheter by using two attachment wires to secure the proximal end of the prosthesis to the delivery device in a tri-fold configuration.
