Abstract

See full text

The bending flexibility profile of a stent closely matches the flexibilities of the stent delivery system on either side of the stent. In one embodiment, a stent has a longitudinal axis and at least one link attaching each ring to an adjacent ring. The links closest to the stent end rings have the greatest bending flexibility and the links closest to the center of the stent have the least bending flexibility.
