1. A delivery catheter system comprising:
a self-expanding tubular prosthesis having a side opening and configured to be delivered in a linearized arrangement and draped over a delivery body to assume a non-linear configuration over a patient's carina to position the opening at an aorta where the aorta branches into the ipsilateral and contralateral iliac arteries; and
a catheter body having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the self-expanding tubular prosthesis is mounted over the catheter body so that the prosthesis may be positioned over the carina with a distal portion of the catheter body in the contralateral artery and a proximal portion of the catheter body in the ipsilateral artery; and
a sheath configured to be disposed coaxially over the catheter body to radially constrain the self-expanding tubular prosthesis in the linearized arrangement so that retraction of the sheath allows the tubular prosthesis to expand with the opening centered at the aorta.
