Abstract
A stent includes a radially expandable tubular structure having a first end, a second end, and a primary strut arrangement extending over substantially an entire length thereof. The primary strut arrangement includes a plurality of rows of struts. The struts are interconnected within each row in a sinusoidal arrangement about a circumference of the tubular structure. Crests and troughs in the sinusoidal arrangement include connection points of the struts. A plurality of longitudinal struts connect neighboring rows of struts at the connection points. In each row, four circumferentially adjacent struts are disposed between every two longitudinal struts joined to the row. One of the two longitudinal struts extends in a direction of the first end to a first neighboring row, and the other of the two longitudinal struts extends in a direction of the second end to a second neighboring row.
