In another embodiment, a method is provided for positioning a graft device in an ascending aorta of a patient. In the method, access is provided to a peripheral venous site. A first catheter is advanced through the peripheral venous site to a right atrium of the patient. Access is provided to the left atrium across an intra-atrial septum. The first catheter is advanced through to a left atrium of a patient. A second catheter is advanced from the first catheter through a left ventricle and the aorta to a peripheral arterial site. A graft device disposed on, over or within the second catheter is advanced from the peripheral venous site or the peripheral arterial site until the graft device reaches an ascending aorta of the patient. The graft device is positioned at a treatment site within the ascending aorta. The first and second catheters are removed from the patient.
