Abstract
A delivery system for deploying an implantable medical device to a target location of a body vessel can include a tubular body with a lumen extending therethrough, a pull wire extending through the lumen, and a proximal support tube disposed within the lumen and engaged to the pull wire such that proximal translation of the support tube causes proximal translation of the pull wire. The proximal support tube can include a marked distal section that is not visible to an operator of the delivery system prior to the release of the implant and that becomes visible when the proximal support tube is pulled proximally a sufficient distance to cause the delivery system to release the implant.
