Abstract

Disclosed is a catheter system (100). The catheter system (100) includes a stent (104) and a catheter (102). The catheter (102) includes a shaft (108) having a proximal end (114) and a distal end (116) such that the shaft (108) includes a first lumen (118) that extend from the proximal end (114) to the distal end (116) such that fluid is adapted to pass through the first lumen (118). The catheter (102) further includes a clamp (110) coupled to the distal end (116) of the shaft (108) such that upon passage of the fluid through the first lumen (118), the clamp (110) exhibits a closed position to hold the stent (104) and upon removal of the fluid from the first lumen (118), the clamp (110) exhibits an open position to release the stent (104).
