Abstract
A delivery device includes a guidewire catheter and a delivery assembly extending about the guidewire catheter. The delivery assembly includes a locking mechanism that selectively engages a proximal handle of the delivery assembly with a push rod to which a vascular prosthesis is directly or indirectly attached. When an actuator selectively disengages the proximal handle from the handle body, rotation of the proximal handle is independent of longitudinal movement of the vascular prosthesis relative to the handle body, whereby the proximal handle can be moved along the handle body with rotation.
