Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A radially expandable stent comprising a plurality of spaced band-like elements and intersecting links is disclosed. The band-like elements have a generally serpentine configuration to provide continuous waves of generally sinusoidal character to each band-like element. The waves are characterized by a plurality of peaks and troughs taking a generally longitudinal direction along the cylinder such that the waves in the band-like elements open as the stent is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter. The intersecting links are substantially U-shaped and terminate in first and second shanks. The first shank of a link emanates from a region between a peak and trough on a band-like element and the second shank of the link emanates from a region between a peak and trough on an adjacent band-like element.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is as follows: 1. A stent comprising: a first serpentine band; and a second serpentine band, the first serpentine band and the second serpentine band interconnected by links, each link comprising a first link end and a second link end, the first link end connected to the first serpentine band and the second link end connected to the second serpentine band, the second link end located opposite a region at least one wavelength further along the first serpenti…
