Endovascular grafting system having a capsule catheter comprising a flexible elongate tubular member having proximal and distal extremities and a capsule mounted on the distal extremity of the tubular member. The capsule is generally cylindrical in shape and is formed of a helical wrap of a metal ribbon. The wraps are bonded into a unitary capsule permitting bending of said unitary capsule. A graft is disposed within the capsule. The graft is comprised of a tubular member having proximal and distal ends. Hooks are secured to the proximal and distal ends of the tubular member and face in a direction outwardly towards the inner wall of the capsule. A push rod is disposed within the capsule catheter and engages the graft whereby upon relative movement between the push rod and the capsule catheter, the graft can be forced out of the capsule.
An expandable intraluminal vascular graft for implanting in a body vessel comprising a deformable tubular member having proximal and distal ends and a wall extending between the proximal and distal ends, the wall being formed of a flexible material capable of receiving tissue ingrowth, said tubular member being capable of assuming a first position of reduced size for insertion into the body vessel and a second expanded position, expandable yieldable spring means respectively secured to the proximal and distal ends of the tubular member, said yieldable spring means urging said tubular member from said first position of reduced size to a second expanded position and attachment means secured to said expandable spring means for attachment to the body vessel.
