A stent in a non-expanded state includes a first expansion column having a plurality of first expansion column slots that are formed of a plurality of first expansion struts. Substantially each first column expansion slot has a longitudinal axis. A second expansion column has a plurality of second expansion column slots that are formed of a plurality of second expansion struts. Substantially each second expansion column strut has a longitudinal axis. A first connecting strut column is formed of a plurality of first connecting struts. The first connecting strut column couples the first expansion column to the second expansion column.
