A stent delivery system (10) is configured such that, in an initial state, a stent (12) is housed within a sheath (16) and such that, when the sheath (16) is moved toward the proximal end relative to an inner member (14), the stent delivery system (10) releases the stent (12) into a living organism lumen. The movement mechanism (52) of the stent delivery system (10) has a rack member (54) connected to the proximal end of the sheath (16) and also has pinions (56a-56c) which rotate to thereby move the rack member (54). |
