<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a delivery system for selectively holding and deploying each end of an endoprosthesis. <P>SOLUTION: The delivery system by this invention includes a spindle (120G) having a spindle body (122G). The spindle includes proximal spindle pins (124G) and distal spindle pins (2030). The delivery system comprises a sleeve (112G) and a middle member sleeve (2022). The endoprosthesis includes proximal spindle pin catches (1202) and distal spindle pin catches (2012). The distal spindle pins (2030) extends into the proximal spindle pin catches (1202) and the sleeve (112G) radially constrains the proximal end of the endoprosthesis. The proximal spindle pins (124G) extends into the distal spindle pin catches (2012) and the middle member sleeve (2022) radially constrains the distal end of the endoprosthesis. Spindle pins may be omitted at one or both ends of the endoprosthesis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
