Abstract
Described is an apparatus for transcatheter detachment of a stent from a delivery device. A single-ended draw line with loops is inserted through a restraining hole in a glide and a release line is inserted through the loops. The single-ended draw line is thus prevented from pulling through the restraining hole while the release line is through the loops. The single-ended draw line is free to pass through the restraining hole after the release line is pulled out of the loops and thereafter pulled free of stent holes formed through a stent, thereby detaching the stent at a desired location.
