Zusammenfassung:	The stent delivery system is used for introducing and deploying a self-expanding stent (10) into the esophagus. It consists of an expandable member - typically, but not limited to, an inflatable balloon (7) in the distal portion thereof. The inflatable balloon (7), when inflated in the stomach, leans against the cardia, which prevents the stent delivery system to be removed through the cardia and esophagus so as to allow accurately deploy the self-expanding stent (10). Once deployed, the inflatable balloon (7) is contracted and the stent delivery system is removed.
