摘要：An expansion mechanism which includes an elongate instrument and a pluralityof struts arranged around the elongate instrument provides radial expansion of amedical device. Each strut has a first end pivotally connected to the elongate instrumentand a second strut which expands radially outward. Each strut further carries a flexible

line which has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of each line passes beyondthe second end of the strut which carries it and is attached to the strut immediatelyadjacent the strut which carries it. Methods of using such an expansion mechanism arealso disclosed, particularly to provide deployment of medical devices within a patient'sblood vascular system.
