Abstract
A drainage stent delivery system is disclosed. The drainage stent delivery system includes a catheter body, a stent member, and a coupling member. In some embodiments the coupling member can include keyed connectors having a non-round shape to facilitate a 1:1 rotation ration of the catheter body and the stent member. In another embodiment, the coupling member can include a telescoping connector having an inner tube and a release wire disposed through the inner tube. A distal portion of the release wire has an outer diameter greater than an inner diameter of the inner tube such that the telescoping connector can be displace by the release wire. In another embodiment, the stent member includes a proximal retention member having arms that are outwardly extendable.
