Zusammenfassung: | The present embodiments provide systems and methods for deploying at least a portion of a stent. In one embodiment, the system comprises a cannula (30) having an outer surface, and at least one coiled member (40) having proximal and distal ends and a plurality of turns disposed therebetween. One of the proximal and distal ends of the coiled member (40) is secured to the outer surface of the cannula (30), and the other of the proximal and distal ends of the coiled member (40) is unsecured relative to the outer surface of the cannula (30). A portion of a stent (60) is looped around the unsecured end of the coiled member (40) and disposed within spacing between adjacent turns of the coiled member (40). Rotation of the cannula (30) subsequently causes the portion of the stent (60) to disengage from the coiled member (40). A protective cage may encircle the coiled member (30). |
