Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a compliant, porous, rolled stent, comprising a stent framework configured as a rhomboid having two short sides and two long sides. The stent framework includes a plurality of slits formed parallel to the short sides of the rhomboid, edge portions adjacent to the long sides of the rhomboid being unslit. The stent framework is rolled at an angle such that the long sides of the rhomboid overlap one another to form a tubular structure. The tubular structure has a spiral backbone formed by the unslit edge portions adjacent to the long sides of the rhomboid. The short sides of the rhomboid form the proximal and distal ends of the stent.
