- injecting a precursor into a luminal wall of the anatomical lumen, and
- inflating a balloon in the anatomical lumen to expand the walls of the anatomical lumen,
- with the precursor reacting to form, in situ, a covalently crosslinked hydrogel stent within a luminal wall of the anatomical lumen with the hydrogel stent placed so that the hydrogel is free of contact with any fluids carried by the lumen.
