Abstract
An inflatable intraluminal stent for attachment to the interior surface of a tubular structure within the human body is disclosed. The stent features a cuff having an inflatable chamber and a friction-enhancing outer surface. The friction-enhancing outer surface engages the interior surface of the tubular structure without penetration when the inflatable cuff is in an inflated condition. An intraluminal medical device may be attached to the inner surface of the stent. A valve is integral with the inflatable cuff and allows for the inflation, deflation and sealing of the inflatable cuff.
