1. An assembly comprising:
a deployment device having:
a rod translatable within an aorta of a patient and having an operator end and a distal end; the rod defining a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom that are spaced-apart relative to one another for controlling a deployment speed;
first and second radially constraining members; and
a release wire configured for releasing first and second radially constraining members;
a stent device positioned around the rod of the deployment device in an initial configuration, the stent device having:
a stented distal portion for being engageably received in the aortic arch of the patient and extending beyond the left subclavian artery when implanted;
a stent portion fluidly engaged with the stented distal portion, the stent portion being at least partially covered and configured to span a portion of the aortic arch including the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery; and
a stented proximal portion fluidly engaged with the stent portion;
an unstented proximal graft section engaged with the stented proximal portion of the stent device at a first end and configured for engagement with the aorta or another stent at a second end, the unstented proximal graft section comprising a side arm for fluidly connecting with at least one of the supra-aortic arteries; and
an unstented distal graft section directly attached to the stented distal portion of the stent device, the unstented distal graft section positioned at the distalmost end of the stent device;
wherein the radially constraining members are configured to constrain a diameter of the stent device when engaged therewith;
wherein a diameter of the stent portion is altered when the first radial constraining member is released to allow expansion of a first segment of the stent device and when the second radially constraining member is released after the first radially constraining member is released to allow expansion of a second segment of the stent device;
wherein the unstented proximal graft section is inverted into the stent device in the initial configuration; and
wherein the unstented proximal graft section is configured to be pulled out of the stent device during or after expansion of the stent device.
