Abstract
A configuration for expandable stents herein a series of circumferentially disposed serpentine elements are linked to one another by bridging members that are connected to the serpentine elements at juncture points located along the straight linking segments between adjoining apexes. The bridging element is shaped such that during expansion of the stent, any longitudinal contraction within the serpentine element is compensated for by the deformation of the bridging member so as to maintain the overall length of the stent substantially constant.
