Abstract
The disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for the luminal delivery of therapeutic devices. The apparatus includes a decoupling assembly comprising a retention element, a energy-responsive element and a thermally sensitive element. The application of heat to the thermally sensitive element alters its configuration such that it no longer maintains the retention element in engagement with the therapeutic device, releasing the therapeutic device.
