1. A system for delivering and deploying a self-expanding device, said system comprising:
- a sheath;
a self-expanding device; and
an assembly configured to move the self-expanding device, the assembly comprising an elongate flexible member including a distal retaining member receiving a distal end of the self-expanding device, the distal retaining member rotatably configured to release the distal end of the self-expanding device from within the distal retaining member and away from the elongate flexible member via a rotary force applied to a proximal end portion of the elongate flexible member so as to rotate the distal retaining member about its longitudinal axis with respect to the sheath, said sheath being removable, prior to applying said rotary force, while the distal end of said self-expanding device remains engaged with the distal retaining member, wherein the distal retaining member comprises a protective coil.

Abstract
A system and method for deploying an occluding device that can be used to remodel an aneurysm within the vessel by, for example, neck reconstruction or balloon remodeling. The system comprises an introducer sheath and an assembly for carrying the occluding device. The assembly includes an elongated flexible member having an occluding device retaining member for receiving a first end of the occluding device, a proximally positioned retaining member for engaging a second end of the occluding device and a support surrounding a portion of the elongated flexible member over which the occluding device can be positioned.
