Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, a stent having an inflatable membrane around an inner cylinder. The membrane is deployed by introducing a fluid between the membrane and the inner cylinder. An outer surface of the membrane conforms to a cavity or orifice. A lumen of the inner cylinder provides a conduit for fluids traversing the length of the stent.
