Abstract
A stent is capable of expanding both radially and axially during deployment. The stent can be balloon expandable or self expanding. In the balloon expandable version, circumferentially expandable structures are connected with folded links. When stent pulled axially, those links allow axial expansion without reducing radial expansion. A specially designed balloon, also capable of radial and axial expansion, is used to deploy the stent. A self-expanding version of this stent can be deployed without a balloon.
