Abstract
An endoluminal prosthesis system deployable in a region of a patient's vasculature having one or more branch vessels, having a main graft body having a first opening in a wall portion of the main graft body and a pre-loaded guidewire positioned inside the main graft body and advanced through the first opening. One or more branch grafts can be attached to the main graft body to cover one or more openings in the main graft body.
Claims20
An endoluminal prosthesis system, comprising:
- a delivery catheter having a flexible catheter body, a proximal end, and a distal end;
- an endoluminal prosthesis comprising:
- a first main graft body having a first lumen extending axially therethrough;
- a first lateral opening extending through a wall portion of the first main graft body, the first lateral opening defining a first dimension;
- a second lateral opening extending through the wall portion of the first main graft body, the second lateral opening positioned opposite the first lateral opening and defining a second dimension;
- a first hollow guidewire extending from the proximal end of the flexible catheter body through at least a portion of the flexible catheter body, through at least a portion of the first lumen of the first main graft body, and through the first lateral opening in the wall portion of the first main graft body when the first main graft body is in a collapsed, pre-delivery state within the flexible catheter body;
- and
- a second hollow guidewire extending from the proximal end of the flexible catheter body through at least a portion of the flexible catheter body, through at least a portion of the first lumen of the first main graft body, and through the second lateral opening in the wall portion of the first main graft body when the first main graft body is in the collapsed, pre-delivery state within the flexible catheter body.

An endoluminal prosthesis, comprising:
- a first main graft body having a first lumen extending axially therethrough;
- a first lateral opening extending through a wall portion of the first main graft body, the first lateral opening defining a first dimension;
- a second lateral opening extending through the wall portion of the first main graft body, the second lateral opening positioned opposite the first lateral opening and defining a second dimension;
- and
- wherein the first main graft body is configured to collapse into a pre-delivery state and receive a first hollow guidewire through at least a portion of the first lumen of the first main graft body, and through the first lateral opening in the wall portion of the first main graft body.

- and
- a third passage extending through at least a portion of the flexible catheter body;
- an endoluminal prosthesis comprising:
- a first main graft body having a first lumen extending axially therethrough;
- a first lateral opening extending through a wall portion of the first main graft body, the first lateral opening defining a first dimension;
- and
- a second lateral opening extending through the wall portion of the first main graft body, the second lateral opening positioned opposite the first lateral opening and defining a second dimension;
- and
- a first hollow guidewire extending through the first passage, through at least a portion of the first lumen of the first main graft body, and through the first lateral opening in the wall portion of the first main graft body when the first main graft body is in a collapsed, pre-delivery state within the flexible catheter body.
