ABSTRACT:
A device for endoluminally placing an endovascular tubular prosthesis in a vascular duct along a guide wire. The device comprises an introducer exterior sheath and an interior sheath therein, with the prosthesis positioned between the sheaths and an elastic expander compressed inside the interior sheath. The expander furthest end exteriorly projects from the interior sheath and is joined to the tubular prosthesis furthest end. A pusher is linked to the expander nearest end, and may contain a radiopaque substance where it connects to the expander. The expander may have an expanded length that is longer than the length of the prosthesis.
