A catheter system and method that includes a catheter element sized to pass through blood vessels to an organ of an animal. A medical element can be disposed with respect to the catheter element so as to interact therewith, the medical element being capable of assuming and maintaining a curved configuration. An ablating or mapping tool can be disposed on either the medical element or the catheter element, or both. The catheter system can be used for inserting a stent graft limb branch into a stent graft body disposed in a living being, the stent graft body having a trunk and an opening for receiving said branch. A guide element is inserted through a vessel of the living being to the vicinity of the branch receiving opening of the stent graft body. The catheter system can include a hand control for manipulating the catheter system. |
