Abstract
A stent delivery system includes a core member and an expandable member coupled to the core member distal segment. A stent extends along the core member distal segment such that an inner surface of the stent is positioned over the expandable member. The stent has a primary heat-set configuration where the stent is radially expanded, and a secondary heat-set configuration where the stent is radially compressed. The expandable member is adapted to radially expand at least a portion of the stent from a radially compressed configuration toward a radially expanded configuration.
