Abstract
A stent delivery system, a dilator system and a method for implanting a stent are provided. The stent delivery system includes an elongate shaft including a proximal portion, a distal portion, a lumen extending at least partially therethrough, and a stent receiving portion on the distal portion of the shaft. The stent delivery system also includes a stent positioned at the stent receiving portion of the elongate shaft, the stent having a constrained configuration and an expanded configuration. A proximal constraining member and a distal constraining member releasably connected to the stent and having a first position and a second position are also included. The proximal constraining member and the distal constraining member cooperatively apply longitudinal tensile force to at least a portion of the stent with the proximal and distal constraining members each in the first position.
