Abstract
An endovascular system includes an elongate delivery shaft assembly, which, when a stent-graft is removably constrained in a radially-compressed delivery state along a distal end portion of the delivery shaft assembly, is shaped so as to define a self-orienting portion, which is shaped so as to define (a) at least proximal and distal curved portions, the proximal curved portion disposed more proximal than the distal curved portion, and (b) at least one point of inflection on a central longitudinal axis of the delivery shaft assembly longitudinally between the proximal and the distal curved portions. Upon positioning of a distal tip of the system near a bifurcation of a brachiocephalic artery from an aortic arch, the self-orienting portion automatically rotationally orients itself in the aortic arch to a rotational orientation in which an inferior lateral opening of the stent-graft faces upstream in the aortic arch. Other embodiments are also described.
