Implant engagement mechanisms are disclosed for maintaining engagement with a stent until it has been fully deployed and expanded from a catheter or sheath. The apparatus, method and system involving these engagement mechanisms allow a physician to withdraw or retract a sheath prior to full deployment, thereby allowing for redeployment of the stent at a more desirable position.
