A flexible low profile delivery system (10) for delivery of an expandable intracorporeal device (11), specifically, an endovascular graft, which has at least one belt (21) circumferentially disposed about the device in a constraining configuration. The belt (21) is released by a release member (24), such as a release wire, by retracting the wire from looped ends (81) of the belt (21). Multiple belts (24, 21, 22) can be used and can be released sequentially so as to control the order of release and placement of the endovascular graft (11). An outer protective sheath (53) may be disposed about the endovascular (11) graft while in a constrained state which must first be retracted or otherwise removed prior to release of the graft (11) from a constrained state. The delivery system (10) can be configured for delivery over a guiding device (18) such as a guidewire. The delivery system can also be configured for delivery of bifurcated intracorporeal devices.

L'invention concerne un système de mise en place, bas profile et flexible, conçu pour placer un dispositif intracorporel extensible, et plus particulièrement un greffon endovasculaire, comportant au moins une courroie disposée circonférentiellement autour du dispositif et présentant une configuration contraignante. La courroie est desserrée par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de desserrage, tel qu'un fil de desserrage, par retrait du fil des extrémités en boucle de la courroie. Il est possible d'employer et de desserrer séquentiellement plusieurs courroies de manière à commander l'ordre de desserrage et la mise en place du greffon endovasculaire. Une enveloppe protectrice externe peut être disposée autour du greffon endovasculaire lorsqu'il est soumis à un état de contrainte, cette enveloppe devant être rétractée ou retirée d'une quelconque autre manière avant la libération du greffon de son état de contrainte. Le système de mise en place peut être configuré pour permettre un placement réalisé au moyen d'un dispositif de guidage, tel qu'un fil guide. Ledit système peut également être configuré de manière à assurer la mise en place de dispositifs intracorporels à bifurcation.
