Systems and methods for attaching a prosthesis within a body lumen or hollow organ

摘要

Systems and methods introduce and deploy prosthesis into a blood vessel or hollow body organ by intra-vascular access. The prosthesis is secured in place by fasteners which 5 are implanted by an applier that is also deployed by intra vascular access. The applier is configured to permit controlled, selective release of the fastener in a step that is independent of the step of implantation. 2828979_1 (GHMatters) P61617.AU.1 16/09/11 26-- 30 -10 46- Fig I Fi.-2
