Abstract
The present embodiments provide prosthesis deployment systems. In one embodiment, a sleeve has proximal and distal regions and a lumen extending therebetween, and further comprising a first exit aperture, a first entrance aperture, and a second exit aperture. A trigger wire is disposed at least partially within the lumen of the sleeve. A prosthesis has a delivery state and an expanded state, and further has first and second regions. In the delivery state, the trigger wire extends out of the lumen through the first exit aperture of the sleeve, restrains the first region of the prosthesis, reenters the lumen through the first entrance aperture of the sleeve, extends out of the lumen through the second exit aperture of the sleeve, and restrains the second region of the prosthesis.
