ABSTRACT:
An improved carrier balloon for a stent assembly with radiation-shielding capabilities includes an inflatable, comprising an expandable sleeve enclosing the balloon and an expandable stent in the form of a sleeve filled with a material which sets under the influence of radiation. A radiation conducting optical fiber extend within the balloon and confronts a material impervious to radiation disposed within the balloon at its front end. This material prevents the radiation used for curing the stent from reaching the blood and/or body tissue of a patient.
