A delivery assembly includes a catheter, a generally helical endoluminal prosthesis, placeable in a radially contracted state on the catheter, means for engaging portions of the prosthesis to maintain it in the contracted state, and means for controllably releasing the portions so the prosthesis controllably expands. A delivery catheter comprises a first, flexible, polymer- based tube and a second, metal tube with flexibility enhancing relief areas to enhance the bending flexibility while retaining good torsional stiffness. A coiled endoluminal prosthesis system may include means for rotating a delivery catheter while axially releasing the prosthesis. A release element may be retracted simultaneously with rotation of the delivery catheter. The prosthesis may be configured to reduce or eliminate any difference between the length of the prosthesis when expanded and contracted.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de pose comprenant un cathéter, une prothèse endoluminale de forme générale spiralée, susceptible de se placer à l'état radialement contracté contre le cathéter, des organes de contention de parties de la prothèse destinés à la maintenir à l'état contracté, et des organes permettant de libérer de façon contrôlée ces parties de façon à la déployer de façon contrôlée. Le cathéter de pose est constitué d'un premier tube polymère souple et d'un second tube métallique présentant des reliefs renforçant la flexibilité de façon à obtenir une meilleure flexion tout en conservant une certaine rigidité en torsion. Ce système peut comporter des organes permettant de faire tourner le cathéter de pose tout en libérant axialement la prothèse. Un organe de dégagement peut se rétracter en même temps que la rotation du cathéter de pose. La prothèse peut être configurée de façon à supprimer en tout ou partie les différences de longueur de la prothèse entre l'état déployé et l'état contracté.
