Abstract

See full text

A stent may include a side branch cell comprising a plurality of petals. Each petal may comprise struts and turns, and may have a longitudinal axis oriented at an angle to the stent longitudinal axis. Each petal may comprise a plurality of struts and at least one turn. For each petal, the width of a turn may be greater than the width of the struts. Upon expansion of the stent, a petal may deploy outwardly in a stent radial direction beyond an outer diameter of the rest of the stent.
