Abstract
A stent delivery system includes a distal-side tube having a guide wire lumen, a proximal-side tube, a fixing tube at which a proximal portion of the distal-side tube and a distal portion of the proximal-side tube are fixed and which has an opening communicating with the guide wire lumen, a stent accommodation tubular member which encloses a distal side of the distal-side tube and is slidable toward a proximal end of the distal-side tube, a stent accommodated inside the stent accommodation tubular member, and a pulling wire whose one end portion is fixed to the stent accommodation tubular member and which extends inside the proximal-side tube for moving the stent accommodation tubular member toward a proximal side by being pulled toward the proximal side.
