Abstract
A stent delivery system includes a stent formed in a substantially hollow cylindrical shape and compressed toward its center axis when inserted in vivo, with the stent being capable of restoring its pre-compression shape through outward expansion when left indwelling in vivo. The stent delivery system also includes an inner tube possessing a guide wire lumen, and a stent accommodating tube having a distal portion accommodating the stent. The stent is disposed as to cover a distal portion of the inner tube, and the stent is adapted to be exposed by moving the stent accommodating tube toward the proximal side relative to the inner tube.
