Abstract:
A balloon having one or more stiffeners is used to configure an expandable device. Methods of configuring and reconfiguring an expandable device with a balloon having a stiffener attached at its perimeter by orienting the stiffener with the expandable device and expanding the balloon to cause the stiffener to exert radial force against the expandable device are provided. Methods of delivering an expandable device carried on a balloon having a stiffener attached are also provided. Reference to radio-opaque portions of the stiffener facilitate orientation of the stiffener with the expandable device.
