ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in preferred embodiments, provides delivery and deployment apparatuses for bifurcated stents capable of comfortably cradling the corina of bifurcated target tissue between the arms of the bifurcated stent as each arm of the bifurcated stent is delivered to a respective side branch. In particular, a family of apparatuses is provided that may be indicated for vascular and non-vascular intervention. Additionally, these apparatuses do not require the use of an ancillary means, such as one or more balloon catheters to achieve complete and precise deployment. In preferred embodiments, delivery and deployment devices in accordance with the present invention also provide, direct visualization, deployment safety features and enhanced physician control.
