Endovascular fastener delivery apparatus comprises a flexible elongated member having a proximal end and a distal end and being configured and adapted to be endolumenally advanced through human vasculature, a flexible pusher member slidably coupled to the elongated member, and a plurality of serially aligned clip carriers secured to the pusher member, each clip carrier comprising a spring element and having a leading end adapted to seat a fastener and a trailing end fixedly secured to the pusher member. In one embodiment, a plurality of bridge clip fasteners are endolumenally advanced to a site in a lumen in a human body and the fasteners are passed from an inner surface of the prosthesis through the prosthesis and a wall of the lumen to secure the prosthesis to the lumen wall. |
