ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a stent which has a locking feature to prevent recoil. The stent is composed of a plurality of rings which are joined by crossties of various construction. The locking feature of each ring can be in alignment or staggered. The crossties may be straight or angled or they may have curvature to them to further promote longitudinal flexibility. The locking mechanism includes features which minimize sharp ends exposed to the vascular wall.
