International Classification:

A61F 2/04
A61F 2/86

Abstract:

Stents are provided which include geometric segments comprising radial elements and axial elements. Both the radial and axial elements are optionally characterized by a width and a thickness, and the widths and thicknesses of the radial and axial elements are capable of being fixed independently of one another, permitting the axial and radial flexibility of the stent to be controlled independently of one another.
