A stent comprises a plurality of connected serpentine circumferential bands (20). Adjacent serpentine circumferential bands are connected via a plurality of longitudinal connectors (24) extending between peaks (16) on one serpentine circumferential band and troughs (18) on the serpentine circumferential band adjacent thereto. The struts (14) of the serpentine bands are arranged such that on expansion of the stent, peaks and troughs which are substantially circumferentially aligned with one another, but not connected with one another, on adjacent serpentine circumferential bands are circumferentially displaced from one another.
