Abstract
Methods for folding a catheter mounted balloon, and delivery catheter systems which incorporate radially expandable intraluminal devices (e.g., stents, grafts and stented grafts) which are mounted on a balloon folded in accordance with this method. The method comprises generally folding the balloon at least twice, in opposite directions, so that any rotational forces created by the unfolding of the balloon as it is inflated will counteract each other, and will thus avoid substantial rotational movement of the intraluminal device during its radial expansion.
