1. A delivery assembly comprising:
- a catheter having a lumen extending therethrough;
a housing having an aperture, said catheter extending through said aperture; and
, a driver movably coupled to said housing such that said driver can selectively move in a first direction relative to said housing, and in a second direction, different from said first direction, relative to said housing, wherein said driver is disposed to engage said catheter such that movement of said driver in said first direction causes a distal end of said catheter to move distally, and that movement of said driver in said second direction causes said distal end of said catheter to move proximally.

Abstract
A delivery handle and assembly are provided which allow for deployment and reconstrainment of a stent. The delivery assembly may include a catheter having a lumen extending therethrough; and, a housing having an aperture, the catheter extending through the aperture. A driver is movably coupled to the housing such that the driver can selectively move in different first and second directions relative to the housing. The driver is disposed to engage the catheter such that movement of the driver in the first direction causes a distal end of the catheter to move distally, and that movement of the driver in the second direction causes the distal end of the catheter to move proximally.
