Zusammenfassung:A stent delivery system includes an expandable stent, a catheter, and a sheath. The expandable stent includes proximal and distal ends, and a first interlock structure. The catheter includes an elongated member having a stent attachment location including a compressible material (689). The sheath mounted on the elongated member and is positionable in a transport position in which the sheath covers the stent mounted at the stent attachment location of the elongated member such that the cells of the stent are pressed into and capture the compressible material, and a deploy position in which the stent is at least partially exposed.
