ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a process for deploying a folded stent or stent-graft in a lumen. The stent or stent graft is maintained in the folded configuration by a slip line that is attached to the folded stent or stent-graft, along a longitudinal fold edge. The folded stent or stent-graft is inserted into a lumen and the slip line is axially moved along a longitudinal line to allow the folded stent or stent-graft to expand to its enlarged, deployed configuration.
