A method is described of loading a self-expanding stent (10) into a delivery sheath (12) that is part of a catheter for transluminal delivery of the stent to a stenting location in the body of a patient, with the stent being deployed at that location by removal from the stent of the constraint on its radial expansion that is provided up to that point by the sheath. The method involves radially compressing the stent; providing a loading sheath (14); translating the stent relative to the sheath, whereby the stent is accommodated within the lumen of the loading sheath; providing a delivery sheath; advancing the loading sheath, containing the stent, into the lumen of the delivery sheath; and deploying the stent into the lumen of the delivery sheath.

L'invention porte sur un procédé de chargement d'un stent autodéployable (10) dans une gaine de distribution (12) qui fait partie d'un cathéter de distribution transluminale du stent vers un emplacement de stent dans le corps d'un patient, le stent étant déployé à cet emplacement par la suppression à partir du stent de la contrainte sur son déploiement radial qui est fournie en ce point par la gaine. Le procédé met en jeu la compression radiale du stent ; la fourniture d'une gaine de chargement (14) ; la translation du stent par rapport à la gaine, ce par quoi le stent est reçu à l'intérieur de la lumière de la gaine de chargement ; la fourniture d'une gaine de distribution ; la progression de la gaine de chargement, contenant le stent, à l'intérieur de la lumière de la gaine de distribution ; et le déploiement du stent à l'intérieur de la lumière de la gaine de distribution.
