Abstract
The present invention provides radially-expandable stents that, in various embodiments, provide controllable expansive force profiles. The expansive force profiles can be controlled by varying the unrestrained expanded diameter of the stents, by varying the longitudinal length of the circumferential support sections in the stents, and/or by varying the circumferential width of the struts in the support sections. Also disclosed are methods of deploying the stents.
