<p>Interconnects (14) for connecting radially expandable segments (12) of stents (10) are disclosed. Interconnects (14) include a proximal connector (44), a first arm (34), a second arm (36), and a distal connector (46). The connectors (44, 46) secure the interconnect (14) to the adjacent radially expandable segments (12). The first arm (34) and the second arm (36) provide expandable elements of the interconnect (14) to confer a degree of axial flexibility between the radially expandable segments (12).</p> |
