Abstract
A stent delivery system and methods are described. The stent delivery system can include an elongate outer member defining an outer member lumen through which a self-expanding stent is deliverable. The elongate outer member can include an anisotropic portion and a rigid portion proximal to the anisotropic portion. The anisotropic portion can be radially elastic and longitudinally inelastic. The rigid portion can be radially inelastic and longitudinally inelastic.
