  • inserting a distal portion of a distensible stent into a proximal end of a first tubular member having a lumen extending therethrough, wherein the distal portion of the stent is in a constrained state and a proximal portion of the stent that is not inserted into the first tubular member is in an unconstrained state; and

    inserting a second elongate member into the proximal end of the first tubular member, the second elongate member having a stent-engaging portion, causing the stent-engaging portion to engage the stent such that relative movement of the second elongate member causes relative movement of the stent.
