A stent deployment device (10) includes a catheter (12), a stent (14) positioned on the catheter (12), and a sleeve (16) carried on the catheter (12). The sleeve (16) has a portion (18) extending fully over and containing the stent (14). The stent deployment device (10) also includes a mechanism (20) for splitting at least the portion (18) of the sleeve (16) extending over the stent (14) and, preferably, for splitting the entire sleeve (16). Splitting of the sleeve portion (18) permits expansion of the stent (14). The mechanism (20) can include an inflatable, nondistending balloon (22) carried on the catheter (12), the stent (14) and the sleeve portion (18) being positioned over the balloon (22). The stent (14) can be self-expanding or can be expanded by the balloon (22) itself. It is preferred that at least the portion (18) of the sleeve (16) extending over the stent (14) includes a longitudinally extending structure (46) for ensuring that the sleeve portion (18) will in fact split upon operation of the mechanism (20).

L'invention porte sur un dispositif (10) de déploiement d'une prothèse endovasculaire comprenant un cathéter (12), une prothèse endovasculaire (14) placée sur le cathéter (12) et un manchon (16) porté par le cathéter (12). Le manchon (16) comporte une partie (18) recouvrant entièrement la prothèse endovasculaire (14) et la contenant. Le dispositif (10) de déploiement de la prothèse endovasculaire comporte également un mécanisme (20) permettant de fendre au moins la partie (18) du manchon (16) s'étendant sur la prothèse endovasculaire (14), et de préférence la totalité du manchon (16). En fendant la partie (18) du manchon, on permet la dilatation de la prothèse endovasculaire (14). Le mécanisme (20) peut comporter un ballonnet gonflable (22) ne pouvant se distendre, porté par le cathéter (12), la prothèse endovasculaire (14) et la partie (18) du manchon se trouvant placée sur le ballonnet (22). La prothèse endovasculaire (14) est soit autodilatable, soit dilatée par le ballonnet (22) lui-même. Au moins la partie (18) du manchon (16) recouvrant la prothèse endovasculaire (14) comporte de préférence une structure (46) s'étendant longitudinalement, assurant qu'au moins ladite partie (18) du manchon se fende effectivement lorsqu'on actionne le mécanisme (20).
