Abstract
A stent delivery assembly and methods of use are provided. The assembly can comprise a catheter, a cover member, a core member, a stent, and a stent retention mechanism. The stent can extend within the cover member lumen and have a section extending at least partially between an inner layer of the cover member and the core member. The stent retention mechanism can be coupled to the core member and comprise an outer surface that is configured to exert a radially outward force against the stent for axially restraining the stent relative to the core member when the stent is in contact with the inner layer of the cover member.
