Abstract
A stent graft delivery system and method of assembling the same is disclosed. The stent graft delivery system includes a stent graft cover configured to maintain a stent graft in a constricted configuration, and is configured to slide relative to the stent graft to enable the stent graft to expand radially outwardly. The stent graft cover extends along a first central axis. A tapered tip defining an opening therethrough is configured to track along a guidewire. The opening extends along a second central axis that is offset from the first central axis. This provides a delivery system with an opening in a leading edge that is not center relative to the outer stent graft cover.
