摘要:
A stent assembly adapted for endoluminal placement by endovasculardeployment for the treatment of a false lumen associated with a vasculardissection. The stent assembly has a number of self expanding stentsconnected together to define an elongate substantially cylindrical lumen wallengaging surface. The stents are adapted to provide pressure on the wall ofthe lumen adjacent to and extending away from a rupture. A deploymentdevice for the stent assembly includes a sheath and a retention and releasearrangement to retain the proximal end of the stent graft to the deploymentdevice. Release of the stent assembly is by withdrawal of the sheath beforerelease of its proximal end by the use of a trigger wire of the retention andrelease arrangement.
