Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides for intra-luminal stents, especially stent having controlled fracture connection, as well as, methods of making and using the same. In one embodiment, a stent for implantation into a vessel has a plurality of annular segments collectively forming tubular shape, characterized by at least first and second adjacent annular segments each defined by a plurality of struts and at least one joint interconnecting respective struts of the first and second segments on a non-permanent basis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A stent for implantation into a body vessel, the stent having a generally tubular shape with a circumference and extending along a longitudinal axis, the stent comprising: a first segment having a plurality of struts disposed along a first portion of the longitudinal axis and arranged to define a plurality of peaks; a second segment, adjacent the first segment, having a plurality of struts; at least two independent temporary struts, each temporary strut…
