Abstract
An intraluminal apparatus for delivering a self-expanding stent which extends along a longitudinal axis from a proximal side to a distal side. It comprises in delivery configuration (a) a retracting sheath having a lumen along its longitudinal axis and slidably covering a stent receiving region at the distal end of the lumen, When the intraluminal apparatus is in a delivery configuration, the distal portion of the holding means is disposed around the proximal portion of the stent and defines an overlapping region of the holding means and the stent. The ratio L/Lof the length of the overlapping region, L, to the length of the self-expanding stent, L, in their compressed state is at least 5% and at most 30%.
