Abstract
A stent delivery catheter assembly for delivering and implanting a self-expanding stent in a body lumen includes a handle assembly for one handed use. The handle assembly has a mode selection for advancing, reversing and locking the stent delivery components. Rotation of a thumbwheel allows the physician to deploy and implant the self-expanding stent in the body lumen with control and precision by simultaneously pulling a sheath proximally and pushing a pusher member distally.
