Abstract
The invention provides a tubular expandable stent including a plurality of cylindrically shaped open cylindrical segments aligned on a common longitudinal axis to define a generally tubular stent body, each segment being defined by a member formed in an undulating flexible pattern of interconnected substantially parallel struts with pairs thereof having alternating interconnecting end portions to define the periphery of the expandable stent segment, and in which the connected end portions of paired struts in each segment, before the stent is expanded, are positioned substantially opposite to connected end portions of paired struts in adjacent segments.
