摘要:
A delivery device and method for deploying a stent-graft within a body lumen of a patient are provided. According to one embodiment, the delivery device includes a tubular member lock that couples an outer tubular member of the device with an inner tubular member, such that as the outer tubular member is retracted to deploy the stent-graft, the distal-most end of the delivery device is also retracted. In one embodiment, the delivery device also includes a stent lock disposed on an intermediate tubular member that is configured to releasably couple the stent-graft and the intermediate tubular member. The inner tubular member and the outer tubular member are configured to be coupled to one another such that movement of the outer tubular member results in movement of the inner tubular member with respect to the intermediate tubular member so as to deploy the stent-graft.
