Abstract
A method for delivering and deploying an intraluminal device. A guidewire is inserted such that one end extends into the patient at an entrance point and the other end extends out of the patient through an exit point. First and second catheters are then passed over the guidewire. The first and second catheters are connected to each other so that the transluminal device may be positioned within the blood vessel by pushing one catheter and pulling the other catheter.
