A stent delivery system includes a stent having at least one eyelet and at least one rivet and a holder supporting the stent, wherein the holder includes a first section having a first diameter and a second section having a second diameter. A sheath covers the stent and the holder. The rivets are attached to each of the eyelets. A first inner diameter of the stent at the position of the rivets is smaller than a second inner diameter of the stent at other positions because the rivets protrude inwardly. A shoulder is formed on the holder due to the difference between the first diameter and the second diameter of the holder. The shoulder is positioned distally adjacent the rivets. The shoulder interferes with the protruding rivets, thereby restraining the longitudinal movement of the stent relative to the holder. Although the sheath is pulled back, the stent does not jump out of the stent delivery system. As a result, the stent delivery system allows the stent to be released in a controlled manner upon its deployment. |
