Abstract

A new multiple component stent (10) which allows for initial self-expansion and subsequent de-formation to a final enlarged size.
In one embodiment, stent (10) com-prises a first resilient element (12) and a second deformable element (14). In another embodiment, stent (30) is made of a first austenite com-ponent (32) and a second maltensite component (34).
