Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed to an improved delivery system to deliver and deploy a prosthesis in a body lumen, and methods of use thereof. The improved delivery system allows for operation of the delivery system with one hand while maintaining accuracy in delivery and deployment of the prosthesis. An exemplary embodiment of the delivery system includes a first sheath control on a housing so as to be accessible from the exterior of the housing, wherein the first sheath control is operatively engaged with the sheath and controls movement of the sheath axially proximally with respect to the housing, thereby releasing at least a portion of the prosthesis.
