Mechanisms for pulling a tensile member a predetermined distance from a medical device having an intracorporeal end and an extracorporeal end are disclosed. Such mechanisms may be safely operated using a robot, two hands, or in some embodiments, only one hand. Such mechanisms may include one or more cams, drums, or pulley-like members and a lever, and may be physically coupled to an extracorporeal portion of the medical device.

Apparatus for and method of pulling a tensile member from a medical device

An endoprosthesis delivery system includes a wire holder on a distal section of an elongated shaft with a plurality of wires extending distally from the wire holder and, in a secured position, terminating in a distal receiver attached to the elongated shaft distal to the wire holder. A single wire attached to the wire holder and extending proximally along the delivery system to a point easily accessible by the operator may be pulled proximally to move the wires out of the distal receiver and release the endoprosthesis.

Endoprothesis delivery system

An endoprosthesis delivery system includes a wire holder on a distal section of an elongated shaft with a plurality of wires extending distally from the wire holder and, in a secured position, terminating in a distal receiver attached to the elongated shaft distal to the wire holder. A single wire attached to the wire holder and extending proximally along the delivery system to a point easily accessible by the operator may be pulled proximally to move the wires out of the distal receiver and release the endoprosthesis

A stent attachment and deployment mechanism is utilized to prevent the distal end of an endoprosthesis comprising fixation barbs or other fixation mechanism from deploying prior to the remaining sections of the fixation device. With this stent attachment and deployment mechanism accurate deployment may be achieved.
