through steps a through d show the balloon deployment and inner catheter shaft pulled to the left relative to the prosthesis and outer sheath step e in the sequence shows when the balloon is pulled up next to the outer sheath the next step shows both the inner catheter and outer catheter pulled back in unison deploying the final length of the stent or prosthesis prior to balloon deflation and removal the prosthesis may require additional anchoring to the vessel wall one method of achieving this is to utilize an adhesive that is activated either by exposure to the surrounding fluids and tissues via chemical catalyst or through exposure to an energy source such as ultraviolet light transmission of chemicals and or light can occur through extra lumens optical fibers etc contained within the delivery system catheter or via a separate catheter or guidewire intended for this purpose examples of adhesives include cyanoacrylates uv cured cyanoacrylates uv cured acrylics and protein linking compounds such as naftalimide these embodiments can utilize compliant or semi compliant balloons depending upon the specific radial forces required to dilate both the prosthesis and vessel semi compliant balloons expand to a nominal diameter under high pressures.
