DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR A FORKED ENDOPLASTY

Abstract

A delivery system (100) for a bifurcated stent (200) is described having a stem (226) and a pair of arms (220, 222), comprising a delivery catheter (110) comprising an elongated first tube (102) having a proximal end (20) and a distal end (30) and a bifurcated portion (114) at the distal end (30) configured to receive the arms (220, 222), wherein a longitudinal slot (140) disposed in the bifurcated portion (114) is configured for releasable passage of the bifurcated stent (200) therethrough. A method for delivering the bifurcated stent to a treatment site using the delivery system (100) is also described.
