An arrangement for mounting a stent graft prosthesis (1) onto a deployment
device (2) with a retention arrangement (3) which includes retention at a
number of points of the circumference of the proximal end of the stent
graft prosthesis (1). The arrangement provides a greater circumferential
distance (13) between two adjacent retention points (9) then other of the
points. When the deployment device is deployed in a curved lumen such as
the thoracic arch it is oriented so that the greater circumferential
distance (13) is on the inner side of the curve.
