A device and method for reducing stent foreshortening are provided herein. The device includes a balloon and stent thereon. The stent has a first end portion and a second end portion and bio-resorbable fibers disposed over at least a portion of the first end portion and the second end portion. The bio-resorbable fibers over the end portions prevent the ends of the stent from prematurely expanding, thereby reducing stent foreshortening.
