Abstract
A stent is provided which after expansion within the body remains substantially rigid for a certain time, at which point the stent becomes increasingly conformable, due to the biodegradation of the connecting members, and thereby avoids mechanical irritation to the body's tissue. Other portions of the stent structure may also biodegrade during this time. Also provided is a method of expanding such a stent.
