1. A method of delivering at least one intraluminal device within a lumen, the method comprising:

  • advancing a portion of a delivery device carrying at least one intraluminal device to a target volume, wherein the delivery device comprises;

    an inner shaft having at least one delivery platform for deployment of at least one intraluminal device;

    an outer sheath surrounding the inner shaft and having a pre-deployment configuration covering the at least one delivery platform and a deployment configuration exposing at least one of the at least one delivery platform;

    a handle housing having a trigger operatively coupled to the outer sheath, the trigger being configured to facilitate movement of the outer sheath with respect to the handle housing;

    an interlock engageable with at least one of the trigger and the inner shaft and having a locked position that substantially prevents movement of at least one of the inner shaft and the outer sheath with respect to the handle housing, and an unlocked position that allows movement of at least one of the inner shaft and the outer sheath with respect to the handle housing;

    an inner shaft adjuster operatively coupled to the inner shaft and one or more of the handle housing and the interlock, wherein the inner shaft has a length of travel defined by a proximalmost position and a distalmost position, wherein prior to actuating the inner shaft adjuster to change the position of the inner shaft the inner shaft is in the proximalmost position;

    arresting movement of the delivery device with respect to the target volume;

    actuating the inner shaft adjuster to change a position of the inner shaft with respect to at least one of the handle housing and the outer sheath, wherein actuating the inner shaft adjuster to change the position of the inner shaft moves the inner shaft to its distalmost position and wherein the inner shaft must be in its distalmost position before the interlock can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position;

    moving the interlock from the locked position to the unlocked position so as to allow movement of at least the outer sheath with respect to the handle housing; and

    actuating the trigger to withdraw the outer sheath proximally from over the inner shaft.
