Abstract
A method of prosthesis delivery comprises advancing first, second and third guidewires through a first vessel, positioning the second guidewire in a second vessel that branches from the first vessel, positioning the third guidewire in a third vessel that branches from the first vessel, advancing a prosthesis over the first, second, and third guidewires to the vicinity of one of the second and third vessels, and deploying the prosthesis. The prosthesis can comprise a tubular stent-graft having a first eyelet adapted to receive a guidewire and a second eyelet adapted to receive a guidewire. A prosthesis delivery system comprises prosthesis delivery apparatus comprising a sheath, a prosthesis having a plurality of eyelets and being disposed in the sheath, a first guidewire tube for receiving a first guidewire and being positioned inside the prosthesis; a second guidewire tube for receiving a second guidewire and being positioned inside the prosthesis, and a third guidewire tube for receiving a third guidewire and being positioned inside the prosthesis.
