A method for forming a stent in situ involves manipulating a delivery system to provide a mold within a lumen of a living body, and injecting a settable, biocompatible phase invertible composition into the mold. After the biocompatible phase invertible composition is set, the delivery system is removed. The stent provides a micro-porous support structure with good tensile strength that is adhesively bound to the lumen. The biocompatible phase invertible composition may be a composition concocted from albumin and collagen, for example, and may be infused with an anti-restenosis agent.
