Patent ID: 7604660

Claim:
A device for allowing a user to deploy a bifurcated stent having left and right branches in an anatomical lumen of a patient, the device comprising: a longitudinally extending inner tubular member having distal and proximal ends, the inner tubular member defines a lumen longitudinally extending substantially the distance from the distal end to the proximal end of the inner tubular member and forming a longitudinal expanse there between, the longitudinal expanse forming an aperture there through; a bifurcated stent retainer coupled to the inner tubular member and having proximal and distal ends, wherein the proximal end of the bifurcated stent retainer is coupled to the distal end of the inner tubular member such that the bifurcated stent retainer extends distally of the distal end of the inner tubular member, wherein the bifurcated stent retainer has a generally frustroconical portion configured to enclose both of the left and right branches of the bifurcated stent therein; a longitudinally extending outer tubular member having an exterior and interior diameter, the outer tubular member being longitudinally and axially displaceable relative to the inner tubular member and the bifurcated stent retainer; and a handle, coupled with a portion of the outer tubular member.
