Abstract
A method and system for catheter-based delivery of implants in the body. Implants can include stents, plugs, coils, baskets, filters, valves, grafts, prosthesis', drugs, drug reservoirs, biologics, or pumps. The catheter system comprises a uniquely configured grasper mechanism that allows holding the implant during the unsheathing delivery step prior to full release. With this delivery system, the implant can be unsheathed, positioned, and the position can be evaluated prior to releasing the implant from the catheter. Upon evaluation of the position of the implant, if it is found to be inaccurately placed, then removal of the implant can be done easily and without a device exchange. If the implant is found to be positioned correctly, the grasper mechanism can be actuated to release the implant from the catheter.
