Friction fit endovascular implant detachment mechanism

An endovascular treatment system, comprising:

• an endovascular implant comprising an open end and a pinched end;
• a connector positioned approximate the pinched end;
• a lock wire having a distal end engaged within the connector;
• an inner coil surrounding the lock wire and affixed to the lock wire;
• and
• an outer coil surrounding the inner coil,
• wherein, axial rotation of the inner coil with respect to the outer coil pushes a distal end of one of the inner coil or the outer coil against a proximal end of the connector, thereby causing the distal end of the lock wire to disengage from the connector to release the endovascular implant.

A method of constructing an endovascular treatment system, comprising:

• providing an endovascular implant comprising an open end and a pinched end;
• providing a lock wire having a distal end;
• welding a threaded portion having a radius larger than the lock wire to the lock wire;
• providing a connector positioned approximate the pinched end;
• fitting the distal end of the lock wire into the connector;
• and
• threading an outer coil over the threaded portion of the lock wire such that axial rotation of the threaded portion is configured to cause the lock wire to translate proximally with respect to the outer coil, thereby disengaging the distal end of the lock wire from the connector and releasing the endovascular implant.
