A hydraulic stent and stent graft delivery system utilizing at least two
different structural materials to effectuate the easy retention and
release of the stent and stent graft, while maintaining structural and
sealing integrity for a pressurizable fluid chamber. An anti kinking
spacer is disclosed which prevents buckling/kinking of the otherwise
unsupported sheath containment section when the catheter assembly is bent
such as for insertion a movement to the delivery site. A configuration
according to the invention provides a flexible small or dual diameter
delivery system that uses fluid pressure within the catheter to retract
the stent/stent graft containment sheath and allow the delivery and
deployment of the stent/stent graft.
