Abstract
A device and method for delivering a vascular device to a target site is provided that allows an orientation of the vascular device at the target site to be adjusted by a user. In general, the delivery device includes an outer tubular member, an intermediate tubular member within the outer tubular member, and an inner member that can move axially within the intermediate tubular member. Each of the members defines a proximal end and a distal end. The intermediate and outer tubular members are fixed at their respective proximal ends, but are not fixed at their distal ends. Thus, a torque applied to the proximal end of the intermediate tubular member is at least partially transmitted to the distal end of the intermediate tubular member, allowing the user to rotate an attached vascular device by rotating the proximal end of the intermediate tubular member.
