1. A method for flushing an implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system, the method comprising:
- providing an implantable medical endoprosthesis delivery system comprising;
an inner member having a first lumen defined therein;
an outer member disposed about the inner member;
wherein a second lumen is defined between the inner member and the outer member,a hub having a bore formed therein that is in fluid communication with the first lumen and the second lumen,wherein a proximal end of the inner member is attached to a first portion of the bore,wherein a proximal end of the outer member is attached to a second portion of the bore, andwherein the first portion of the bore has a first inner diameter, wherein the second portion of the bore has a second inner diameter, and wherein the first inner diameter is smaller than the second inner diameter;
attaching a fluid introduction device to the hub; and
introducing a fluid into the hub with the fluid introduction device so as to simultaneously deliver fluid to the proximal ends of each of the first lumen and the second lumen.
