Abstract
Methods and systems for delivering a tubular implant to a target location in a body lumen, wherein the tubular implant has a delivery length when in a radially collapsed, delivery configuration, and a foreshortened length shorter than the delivery length when in a radially expanded, implanted configuration. Respective markers are provided on a delivery catheter and on the tubular implant which provide a visual indication of the landing location of a foreshortened length of a last proximal portion of the tubular implant prior to implanting the last proximal portion. This allows the clinician to determine if the landing location of the last proximal portion is clinically desirable prior to fully implanting the tubular implant.
