<p>An endograft hanger for expanding and suspending an endograft in the circulation for properly placing the endograft with respect to a target segment of a blood vessel includes a main body and a plurality of expandable limbs adapted to be operatively coupled to an endograft. Once the endograft is suspended in a desired location, stents are deployed to secure the endograft in position. A method for deploying an endograft is also provided, whereby the endograft that is free from stent structures is disposed in a reduced diameter configuration and, attached to a graft hanger is conducted to a target region of a blood vessel. Once in place, the graft is released from an introducer sheath and the graft hanger is released so that the hanger limbs expand to re-expand the endograft in a target region of the blood vessel.</p> |
