One particular embodiment has five cells (66) in each ring (60) and two interconnecting bridges (65) between non-consecutive opposing cell interconnection bridges (62) of each ring (60). Each successive pair of intermodular connecting bridges (65) joining each successive ring (60) rotates around the stent (30) as the successive pair of intermodular connecting bridges (65) extend to the last ring at the distal end (42) of the stent (30).</p> |
