Abstract:
1. A medical device delivery system for deploying an intraluminal medical device in a body vessel, said medical device delivery system comprising: an elongate tubular member comprising first proximal and distal ends and a circumferential wall having an inner surface defining a passageway between the first proximal and distal ends, the passageway having a distal cavity and a protrusion disposed on the inner surface at the distal end; a distal tip member slidably disposed within the passageway and having a lengthwise axis, proximal and distal portions and a separable junction joining the proximal and distal portions, the proximal portion defining a mounting region; a distal protection device disposed on the distal portion of the distal tip member and distal to the separable junction, the distal protection device comprising an expandable structure adapted to be deployed from within the passageway into said body vessel and to capture solid matter flowing through said body vessel; a self-expandable intraluminal medical device disposed on the mounting region of the distal tip member and proximal to the separable junction; wherein the distal protection device is axially spaced from the separable junction and the self-expandable intraluminal medical device on the lengthwise axis of the distal tip member; and wherein the distal protection device is configured to separate from the mounting region at the separable junction after being deployed.
