Abstract
The invention provides a method for intraluminal delivery and deployment of an expandable prosthesis at a site within a body lumen. The method comprises the steps of placing the prosthesis over a support having at least two movable wings mounted on a catheter, delivering the prosthesis to the desired location by moving the catheter through the body passageway, and moving the wings radially outwardly to thereby deploy the prosthesis within the body passageway.
