A branched and fenestrated prosthesis may include a main tubular graft body including a proximal end opening, a distal end opening, a lumen, and a sidewall. A branch may extend from the sidewall and may include a first end opening, a second end opening, and a lumen. A fenestration may be disposed in the sidewall and positioned distal of the second end opening of the branch. The branched and fenestrated prosthesis may include a plurality of branches and a plurality of fenestrations.

Endoluminal prosthesis having multiple branches or fenestrations and methods of deployment

A system for facilitating deployment of an endoluminal prosthesis may include a main tubular graft body including a proximal end opening, a distal end opening, a lumen, and a sidewall. A branch may extend from the sidewall and may include a first end opening, a second end opening, and a lumen. A fenestration may be disposed in the sidewall and positioned distal of the second end opening of the branch. A wire segment may include a proximal portion positioned proximal of the proximal end opening and a distal portion positioned distal of the distal end opening. The wire segment extend through the fenestration and through the lumen of the branch in a preloaded configuration.

An endoluminal prosthesis introducer may include an elongate tubular sheath including a reinforced longitudinal segment and a peelable longitudinal segment extending distally from the reinforced segment. An elongate tubular cannula may be disposed within the sheath. Upon application of a force applied to a distal end of the sheath, the peelable segment may progressively split in a proximal direction, and the reinforced segment may longitudinally move relative to the cannula in a distal direction.
