Abstract
An introducer assembly for introducing a stent-graft () or other device into a vessel of a patient includes a pre-shaped curved cannula () made preferably of a shape memory material. The curved cannula can pull the proximal end () of the stent-graft () against the inner side wall of the vessel thereby to ensure a good leak free connection at this point. The assembly is particularly useful in deploying stent-grafts into the aortic arch.
