ABSTRACT:
A stent in a non-expanded state has a first expansion strut that includes a first expansion strut positioned adjacent to a second expansion strut. A joining strut of the first expansion strut pair couples the first and second expansion struts at a distal end of the first expansion strut pair. A plurality of the first expansion strut pair form a first expansion column. A second expansion strut pair includes a first expansion strut positioned adjacent to a second expansion strut. A joining strut of the second expansion strut pair couples the first and second expansion struts of the second expansion strut pair at a proximal end of the second expansion strut pair. A plurality of the second expansion strut pair form a second expansion column. A first connecting strut includes a first connecting strut proximal section and a first connecting strut distal section. The first connecting strut proximal section is coupled to the distal end of the first expansion strut pair in the first expansion column.
