A delivery device for positioning and deploying an implantable device within a lumen is provided. The device includes an inner tube positioned within an outer tube and capable of sliding therein, wherein the inner and outer tubes have proximal and distal ends. A side opening is defined in each of the inner and outer tubes, wherein each side opening is defined proximate to the implantable device and is capable of substantially aligning with the other side opening. The device includes an optical device capable of viewing at least a portion of the lumen prior to deploying the implantable device when the side openings are aligned with each other. A mechanism is coupled to at least one of the inner and outer tubes and is operable to deploy the implantable device within the lumen.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution destiné à placer et à déployer un organe implantable à l'intérieur d'une lumière. Ledit dispositif comporte un tube interne placé à l'intérieur d'un tube externe où il peut glisser. Les tubes interne et externe ont des extrémités proximales et distales. Une ouverture latérale est définie dans chacun de ces deux tubes. Chaque ouverture latérale est définie à proximité de l'organe implantable et peut sensiblement s'aligner avec l'autre ouverture latérale. Le dispositif comporte en outre un organe optique qui permet de visualiser au moins une partie de la lumière préalablement au déploiement de l'organe implantable lorsque les ouvertures latérales sont alignées l'une avec l'autre. Un mécanisme est couplé à au moins un des tubes interne et externe et on peut l'actionner pour déployer l'organe implantable à l'intérieur de la lumière.
