A delivery system (100), including a restraining member (102), maintains a collapsed implant (106) in its collapsed state for delivery through a small passageway to a desired site in a mammalian body. Once the implant is positioned at the desired site, the restraining member is released so that the stent may expand or be expanded to its expanded state. In a preferred embodiment, the restraining member comprises a sheet of material that surrounds at least a portion of the collapsed stent. Portions of the restraining member are releasably coupled to one another with a low profile thread-like member or suture.

L'invention porte sur un système de mise en place (100), comprenant un élément de retenue (102), servant à garder un implant (106) en position repliée pour sa mise en place à l'endroit désiré par le truchement d'un passage étroit dans le corps d'un mammifère. Une fois l'implant bien positionné à l'endroit voulu, l'élément de retenue est libéré, de sorte que l'endoprothèse peut soit se déployer d'elle-même, soit être dilatée pour ce faire. Dans un mode préféré de réalisation, l'élément de retenue comprend une feuille d'un matériau qui entoure au moins une partie de l'endoprothèse repliée. Des parties de l'élément de retenue sont couplées entre elles de façon libérable à l'aide d'un élément filiforme discret ou d'un fil de suture.
