A delivery system for delivering and deploying stents with proximal and distal apices includes a "guidewire lumen, a distal apex release lumen, a proximal apex release lumen, a distal apex capture device and a proximal apex capture device. The distal and proximal apex capture devices include a first distal capture portion and a second distal capture portion fixedly connected to the guidewire lumen and distal apex release lumen, respectively, and a first and second proximal capture portions, respectively. The first proximal capture portion is fixedly connected to the distal end of the apex release lumen and has fingers extending toward the first distal capture portion in a distal direction. The second proximal capture portion is fixedly connected to the distal end of the proximal apex release lumen and has fingers extending toward the second distal capture portion in a distal direction.
