Abstract
The invention is a method for deploying a stent including the steps of providing a sheath containing a plurality of stents; locating the distal end of the sheath at a treatment site in a passage; and moving the sheath and a first stent relative to each other a distance sufficient to expose the first stent to the passage by actuating a stent deployment mechanism disposed at the proximal end of the sheath, the distance being determined solely by the structure of the stent deployment mechanism. The invention also includes a stent assembly comprising a sheath; a stent stop within the sheath at the distal end of the sheath; a stent disposed against the stent stop; an actuator; and an actuator limit stop. Also included within the invention is a stent loading mechanism.
