Abstract
A stent delivery system having a hydraulically actuated retractable sheath is disclosed. A pressurizing fluid is either supplied by an inflation lumen to a portion of a piston housing or is withdrawn from a portion of a piston housing, thereby actuating a piston. As the piston moves, a retractable sheath which is connected to the piston moves as well causing the sheath to retract.
