A catheter (1) for transvascular deployment of a radially compressible medical device (16) has a tubular outer body (2) within which is slidably mounted an inner tubular sheath (3) which in turn houses a guide wire (4) which is axially movable through the sheath (3). The medical device (6) is mounted on the guide wire (4) and can be collapsed within the sheath (3) and body (2) for deployment. An outer distal end of the sheath (3) is provided with circumferentially spaced-apart axial slits (7) extending proximally from the distal end of the sheath (3) which sub-divide the distal end of the tubular side wall of the sheath (3) into a number of complementary tube sections (8) which are movable apart when the sheath (3) is pushed out of the distal end of the body (2) to engage or deploy the medical device (6).

L'invention concerne un cathéter (1) destiné au déploiement d'un dispositif médical (16) radialement pliable. Ledit cathéter comprend un corps tubulaire extérieur (2) à l'intérieur duquel est montée coulissante une gaine (3) tubulaire intérieure, qui à son tour, renferme un fil-guide (4) axialement mobile dans la gaine (3). Le dispositif médical (6), qui est monté sur un fil-guide (4), peut être plié à l'intérieur de la gaine (3) et du corps (2) en vue de son déploiement. Une extrémité distale extérieure de la gaine (3) présente des fentes (7) axiales circonférentiellement espacées s'étendant proximalement à partir de l'extrémité distale de la gaine (3), lesquelles fentes divisent l'extrémité distale de la paroi latérale tubulaire de la gaine (3) en un certain nombre de sections (8) de tube complémentaires pouvant s'écarter les unes des autres lorsque la gaine (3) est poussée hors de l'extrémité distale du corps (2) pour venir au contact du dispositif médical (6) ou le déployer.
