Abstract

A liner (10) is advanced through a narrowed region in a vessel such as the internal carotid artery. The liner (10) is advanced through the narrowed region in a collapsed position. A stent (26) is then advanced through the liner (10) and expanded to open the narrowed region. The liner (10) may also have an anchor (12) which expands an end of the liner (10) before the stent (26) is introduced.
