An expandable stent and delivery system (12), for enhancing luminal dilation of a blood vesselnand treating aneurysms, includes proximal (32), intermediate (34) and distal (38) cylindrical membersndisposed on and spaced apart along an elongated core member (26) such that first (36) and second (40)ngaps are formed. The expandable stent (10) includes anchor members (52) which align with thengaps. The expandable stent is mounted on the intermediate cylindrical member, and thenanchor members are disposed within the gaps thereby locking the stent onto the corenmember. |
