A new, smaller (7.5F) stent delivery sheath system is described for deployment of the iliofemoral large balloon expandable (Palmaz) stainless steel stent which allows a brachial or ipsilateral retrograde femoral or popliteal approach. The procedure described does not require predilatation of the lesion prior to stent deployment.
