Stent consists of several adjacent lengthwise tubular sections joined by first and second connections consisting of cell-type elements of one orientation.

摘要

The stent (1) consists of several adjacent tubular sections(8) in the stent's lengthwise direction. Each section is joined by a first connection(20) to the next one. Each tubular section consists of several cellular elements (10) possessing one orientation. The first connection joins elements of the same orientation. the elements of each section are joined in the stent's peripheral direction by means of second, S-shaped connections (14).
