The catheter includes an elongated member having a second interlock structure displaceably arranged about an outer surface thereof for engaging the first interlock structure of the stent. The sheath is mounted on the elongated member and is positionable in a transport position in which the sheath covers the stent mounted on the elongated member and a deploy position in which the stent is exposed.
