Abstract
Segmented scaffolds composed of disconnected scaffold segments are delivered to an implant site on a delivery balloon. The segments are crimped to the balloon and separated from each other by gaps. When the balloon is inflated the gaps between the disconnected scaffold segments stay constant. Pillowed or banded balloons are used to deliver the segments.
