Abstract
A stent for implantation in a body lumen for protecting from rupture a fibrous cap in order to treat vulnerable plaque. One embodiment of the stent includes inclined planar rings joined by interconnecting links. The planar rings are inclined relative to a plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis extending the length of the stent. The inclined planar rings provide vessel support yet require lower balloon pressures to deploy and exert lower radial stresses so that when appositioned with vulnerable plaque are less likely to rupture the fibrous cap.
