Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a catheter system and a method for introducing and implanting an expandable stent member in a body. SOLUTION: This catheter includes a catheter member, the catheter member has first and second ends, the first end has an inflatable portion 2, the catheter has a lumen 5 in fluid communication with the inflatable portion 2 and the second end, and constitutes a means for inflating the inflatable portion 2. The expandable stent member 3 is capable of permanently deforming when expanded. At least a portion of the stent member is attached to the inflatable portion 2 by a bonding portion and whereby upon inflation of the inflatable portion 2 the bonding portion is released from the stent member to permit deployment of the stent member and removal of the catheter member. The bonding portion may be formed of the same or different material than the balloon surface 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
