Abstract
A delivery system is provided for delivering and deploying an implantable balloon-based occlusion device including an inflatable balloon. The delivery system includes a handle including a plunger slidingly disposed in a fluid-retaining chamber, and a proximal rotatable user-control knob. A fluid-conveyance lumen catheter is shaped so as to define a catheter fluid-conveyance lumen in fluid communication with the fluid-retaining chamber and the inflatable balloon when the fluid-conveyance lumen catheter is coupled to the inflatable balloon. A catheter lumen shaft is configured to be in reversible connection with the balloon-based occlusion device, longitudinally slidable with respect to the handle. Rotation of the knob in a first rotational direction concurrently expels at least some of the fluid from the fluid-retaining chamber into the inflatable balloon, via the catheter fluid-conveyance lumen, and shortens a length of the balloon-based occlusion device by proximally pulling the catheter lumen shaft. Other embodiments are also described.
