Abstract
The present invention relates to a stent delivery system, including a tubular stent delivery catheter (a 'shuttle') comprising an expandable deployment segment, onto which a stent can be mounted in a contracted conformation. Unlike hitherto known delivery catheters, however, the deployment segment is expanded by an ancillary device, for example, by a balloon catheter separate and distinct from the shuttle.
