Methods for folding a catheter mounted balloon, and delivery catheter systems which incorporate radially expandable intraluminal devices (e.g., stents, grafts and stented grafts) which are mounted on a balloon folded in accordance with this method. The method comprises generally folding the balloon at least twice, in opposite directions, so that any rotational forces created by the unfolding of the balloon as it is inflated will counteract each other, and will thus avoid substantial rotational movement of the intraluminal device during its radial expansion.
L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de plier un ballonnet monté sur un cathéter, ainsi que des systèmes de placement de cathéters qui comprennent des dispositifs intraluminaux pouvant s'étendre de manière radiale (par exemple des prothèses endovasculaires, des greffes, et des greffes pourvues de prothèses endovasculaires), ces dispositifs étant destinés à être montés sur un ballonnet plié conformément à ce procédé. Les procédés de cette invention consistent généralement à plier le ballonnet à au moins deux reprises, dans des sens opposés, de sorte que les forces de rotation produites par le dépliage dudit ballonnet une fois celui-ci dégonflé se compensent, empêchant ainsi tout déplacement rotatif du dispositif intraluminal pendant que celui-ci s'étend de manière radiale.
