System and method for delivering and deploying an occluding device within a vessel
First Claim
1. A system for deploying a self-expanding device, the system comprising a self-expanding device and an elongate flexible member comprising a device retaining member receiving a first end of the self-expanding device within an interior of the device retaining member, the first end of the self-expanding device expanded radially outwardly against the interior of the device retaining member, the flexible member comprising a proximal member configured to resist proximal movement of a second end of the self-expanding device along a length of the flexible member when the self-expanding device is positioned against said proximal member, the device retaining member being rotatable relative to the self-expanding device, wherein rotation of the device retaining member results in disengagement of the first end from within the interior as the first end moves proximally relative to the device retaining member, and as the device retaining member and the proximal member remain substantially fixed axially with respect to each other.

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.
