Abstract
Materials and methods for making conformable stents. The stents can be generated by, for example, injecting a fluid into a scaffold on the outer surface of an angioplasty balloon inflated at the site of a stenosis, and allowing the fluid to harden or set, thus generating a stent that can remain in the vessel at the site of stenosis.
