ABSTRACT:
A method for positioning a graft within a vasculature is described. The method comprises positioning a guide wire extending from an entry opening past a treatment zone to an exit opening. The guide wire has an attachment portion that is connected to a first string extending from a distal end of the graft. The guide wire is manipulated to move the string through the vasculature until the first string extends out the exit opening with a second string connected to the proximal end of the graft extending out the entry opening. The first string is disconnected from the guide wire and the first and second strings are manipulated to position the graft at the treatment zone.
