Abstract
A stent delivery catheter. The catheter includes an inner catheter tube and an outer catheter tube which are rotatable relative to each other. The inner catheter and outer catheter include recesses to receive the ends of the stent, permitting pull wires to engage the stent ends without need to for the pull wires to extend radially beyond the bounds of the catheter or requiring the stent ends to protrude it into the lumen of the inner or outer catheter.
