Abstract
A system for delivering and for deploying an expandable intraluminal device at a selected location in a body lumen wall, includes: an inner supporting structure for supporting the intraluminal device; an outer tube for enclosing the inner supporting structure, and the intraluminal device when supported in its contracted condition thereon; and a pair of socks for receiving between them the ends of the intraluminal device in its contracted condition. Each sock has one end secured to the inner supporting structure, an opposite end facing the other sock for receiving the respective end of the intraluminal device in its contracted condition, and a length such that, when the outer tube is removed and the intraluminal device starts to expand, each sock does not release the respective end of the intraluminal device until the center region of the intraluminal device expands into engagement with the body lumen wall.
