1. A vasoocclusive embolic device deployment system for use in placing an embolic device at a preselected site within a vessel comprising:

  • an elongated flexible delivery catheter having proximal and distal sections and a lumen extending therethrough;

    an elongated flexible deployment catheter having proximal and distal sections and a lumen extending therethrough and being slidably disposed within the lumen of the elongated flexible delivery catheter;

    a cylindrical embolic coil having proximal and distal ends and an outer surface;

    a stretch resistant fiber having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the fiber is attached to the proximal end of the embolic coil, the fiber then extends cylindrically around the outer surface of the embolic coil and the distal end of the fiber is attached to the distal end of the embolic coil;

    a headpiece is mounted on the proximal end of the coil and is disposed in a fluid tight engagement within the lumen of the distal section of the deployment catheter; and

    ,a source of fluid pressure is coupled to the proximal section of the deployment catheter for applying a fluid pressure to thereby release the embolic coil from the deployment catheter.
