A stent delivery assembly comprises a balloon catheter with a rotatable
assembly disposed thereabout. The rotatable assembly comprises a
rotatable sheath which in a reduced state is freely rotatable about the
medical balloon and when in the expanded state is frictionally engaged by
the expanded balloon. A secondary guide wire housing is at least
partially engaged to the rotatable sheath. A stent may be disposed about
at least a portion of the rotatable sheath and at least a portion of the
secondary guide wire housing so that a distal end portion of the
secondary guide wire housing exits the flow path of the stent through one
of the plurality of cell openings which the stent defines.
