ABSTRACT:
A stent in a non-expanded state includes a first expansion column having a plurality of first expansion column slots that are formed of a plurality of first expansion struts. Substantially each first column expansion slot has a longitudinal axis. A second expansion column has a plurality of second expansion column slots that are formed of a plurality of second expansion struts. Substantially each second expansion column strut has a longitudinal axis. A first connecting strut column is formed of a plurality of first connecting struts. The first connecting strut column couples the first expansion column to the second expansion column. The first expansion column, second expansion column and the first connecting strut column form a first tubular structure with a longitudinal axis. The longitudinal axis of the first expansion column slots is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first tubular structure.
