A stent graft deployment apparatus (10) which has a deployment catheter (11) with a proximal end (5) to be introduced into a patient and a distal end (3) to remain outside a patient and at a proximal end thereof a region to contain a stent graft (21). A sheath (25) extends over and covers the stent graft and can be moved to expose the stent graft to enable deployment of the stent graft. A nose cone dilator (17) is positioned at the proximal end of the deployment catheter and can be curved. A capsule (40) provides a distal retention arrangement for the stent graft.
