A prosthesis for implantation in a blood vessel includes struts with a cross-section having a flat base with angled edges on the inner surface and chamfered edges on the outer or exterior surface. The base angled edge is substantially a right angle, while the outer or exterior surface has edges that are chamfered with either round or angled chamfers. The chamfers could be manufactured by either machining the chamfer into the stock material, or by tumbling the stent in a tumbler to abrasively wear the edges to form a chamfer. |
