<p>A stent having a hollow, cylindrical body 7 made with a plurality of rings 10. The rings each extend circumferentially around the cylindrical body and include an undulating series of angulated peaks 11 and valleys 12. The rings are joined together by a series of links 15, the rings and links being shaped and arranged to promote a very low compressed profile and longitudinal flexibility during stent delivery on the catheter and effective scaffolding after deployment. The rings are provided with inflection points 21 on some portions of the rings which extend in a generally circumferential direction for a short distance. <IMAGE></p> |
