Abstract

INTERNATIONAL SEARCH REPORT International application No. PCT/US03/33967 Box III TEXT OF THE ABSTRACT (Continuation of Item 5 of the first sheet) NEW ABSTRACT The present invention, in an exemplary embodiment, provides a stent deployment apparatus comprising excellent features. A stent deployment apparatus in the present invention can facilitate the precise delivery of stents in a safe and repeatable fashion. In particular, a preferred deployment apparatus allows the physician to concentrate on correct placement by providing a physical safety mechanism that limits deployment to the critical deployment point. Moreover, to exceed this threshold, an audible and/or tactile indicator informs the physician that she can no longer retract the stent beyond this point. The stent deployment apparatus guide,%ire may also be extended rather than retracting the outer catheter to deliver the stent. Moreover, the distal tip is designed to facilitates the removal of the deployment apparatus even if a defective stent is only partially radially expanded. In alternative embodiments, the stent deployment apparatus allows for the insertion of an optical scope to facilitate stent delivery.
