摘要：
A delivery system for delivering a self-expanding medical device such as a stent. The delivery system includes a sheath profiled or shaped to reduce instances of interference between a distal edge of the sheath and a vessel or with any lesion or lesions that might be present in the vessel. The sheath is formed by modifying a cylinder of sheath material to include three portions and an initiation slit that controls the rupturing of the sheath to facilitate delivery of the medical device. The initiation slit is positioned on the delivery system with respect to a configuration of a balloon portion of the system.
