Abstract
A stent with a plurality of support elements that are deployable within a body for supporting a vessel or other body structure. The stent includes first and second terminal ends and a length extending between the terminal ends. Support rails extend between the terminal ends and through the support members in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stent. The support elements can include openings for receiving the rails. The rails can be formed of a spring so that the stent can easily conform to the minor bend of a curved vessel when the stent is deployed.
