| 摘要 |
A device (1) for transluminal implantation of a substantially tubular, radially expansible stent (33), comprising a central tube (7) or rod surrounded by an outer tube (9) axially displaceable relative said central tube (7) or rod, the radial dimensions of said tubes or tube and rod being such as to form an annular space therebetween capable of accommodating said stent (33) in an unexpanded state, and means for axial displacement of said outer tube (9) relative to said central tube (7) or rod. In said device the central tube (7) or rod, at a distal end thereof, is provided with a section of reduced diameter at the proximal end of which there is an undercut groove forming a circumferential flange (21) within which a proximal end of said stent (33) rests until release of the stent (33) by rearward displacement of said outer tube (9). <IMAGE> |
