Abstract
A method for producing an expandable stent includes steps of: (i) selectively removing portions of a solid tubular wall having a diameter substantially the same as that of the stent in a second, expanded position to define multiple sections of the porous surface connected to one another by a series of axially disposed connecting members; (ii) radially compressing the stent by applying a radially inward force on the multiple sections and the connecting members such that the multiple sections have a diameter substantially the same as that of the stent in the first, compressed position; and (iii) removing the connecting members between the multiple sections to produce the stent in the first position.
