Abstract
An intravascular stent having struts which overlap, at least partially, when the stent is compressed. The overlapping struts allow the stent to be crimped to a smaller initial delivery diameter than may be achieved with non-overlapping designs for given metal density. The stent has a reduced delivery diameter which allows for the construction of reduced profile stent-delivery systems, which thereby allow for the stenting of smaller vessels than has heretofore been possible.
