A stent in a non-expanded state has a first column expansion strut pair that includes a first expansion strut, a second expansion strut and a joining strut. A plurality of the first column expansion strut pair form a chevron shaped slot in a first expansion column. A second column expansion strut pair has a first expansion strut, a second expansion strut and a joining strut. A plurality of the second column expansion strut pair form a chevron shaped slot in a second expansion column. A plurality of first serial connecting struts form a first serial connecting strut column. The plurality of first serial connecting struts couple the first expansion column to the second expansion column. The first serial connecting strut ipsilaterally couples the second expansion strut of the first expansion column to the second expansion strut of the second expansion column.
