Abstract: A method and assembly are provided for securing a stent within a vessel of a subject. The method includes moving the stent to a position along the vessel and inflating a balloon positioned on a downstream side of the stent. The method further includes deploying the stent at the position and verifying that the deployed stent does not float from the position in a downstream direction relative to the inflated balloon. The method further includes deflating the balloon. The assembly includes the stent, a plurality of channels internal to the stent and a deployment mechanism configured to deploy the stent when the stent is positioned in the vessel of the subject. In another embodiment, a system is provided that includes the assembly, a guide wire, a balloon lumen, an inlet port to inject fluid into the balloon lumen and a handle operatively coupled to the deployment mechanism.
