Abstract: An endovascular system employs a lever structure to deploy an embolic device at a target site in the vasculature of a patient. The endovascular system comprises an elongate tubular member provided with a lever structure and an elongate detachment wire to assert an effort to the proximal portion of a lever member outwardly, thereby generating a load to the distal portion of the lever member inwardly to allow the lever structure to engage and secure the embolic device. The elongate detachment wire is disengageable from the lever structure to remove the effort asserted to the proximal portion of the lever member, thereby removing the load off the distal portion of the lever member to allow the lever structure to disengage and release the embolic device.
