An endo-vascular fastener applicator is provided for endo-luminal fastening of a prosthetic to a vessel with a fastener. The applicator includes a tubular body that is configured for positioning within a vessel, an expandable portion disposed adjacent the distal end of the tubular body and deployed to support a prosthetic in contact with an inner surface of a vessel, and a drive assembly for advancing a fastener into the prosthetic. A delivery tube may be included that is disposed for movement within the tubular body, and which defines a channel for movement of the drive assembly there within. The delivery tube may include an applicator head. The applicator head may include an injection mount that is disposed for movement relative to a prosthetic.
