<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for implanting prostheses in the body. <P>SOLUTION: System and method implant prostheses in the body are disclosed. The system and method provide permanent attachment of the prosthesis in the body. The prosthesis can comprise, e.g., an endovascular graft 15, which can be deployed without damaging the native blood vessel in either an arterial or a venous system. The endovascular graft can comprise, e.g., a radially expanding vascular stent and/or a stent-graft. The graft can be placed in the vasculature, e.g., to exclude or bridge an aneurysm 11 (for example, an abdominal aortic aneurysms). The graft desirably adapts to change in aneurysm morphology and repairs the endovascular aneurysm. The fastening systems and methods can be deployed through the vasculature and manipulated from outside the body, to deliver a fastener 28 to attach the graft to the vessel wall. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
