Abstract
Abstract A stent assembly (20), delivery system (Fig. 5) and method of manufacture (Fig. 4) therefor. A stent assembly (20) includes a compact stent (10). A dissolvable material (35) impregnates the stent (10) in liquid form. In its cured, solid form, the material (35) contains the stent (10) in its compact form. When the stent (10) is positioned in a vessel (85), the temperature and liquids in the vessel (85) dissolve the material (35) thereby to release the stent (10) for positioning in a final configuration. The expansion of the stent (10) then allows removal of the delivery system.
