Zusammenfassung:The method includes providing a delivery device. The delivery device comprises a support stent, an inner sheath, and an outer sheath. The support stent is slidably positioned about a wire lumen. The support stent has a proximal end and a distal end, and is expandable from a compressed delivery configuration to an expanded configuration. The inner sheath is retractably positioned about the support stent with the support stent in the delivery configuration. The anchor stent is slidably positioned about the inner sheath and is deployable from a compressed delivery configuration to a deployed configuration. The outer sheath is retracted to expand the anchor stent from the delivery configuration to an expanded configuration. The anchor stent is deployed in the body vessel. The inner sheath is retracted to expand the support stent from the compressed insertion configuration to an expanded configuration.
