ABSTRACT:
A permanent expandable intraluminal tubular stent supporting device intended to maintain the walls of anatomical body channels or vessels, the steno being expandable within the vessel by an angioplasty balloon associated with a catheter thereby dilating and expanding the lumen of a vessel. The stent comprises an arrangement of connecting members interconnected by a plurality of radially expandable, elongatable members. Upon inflation of the balloon, the stent expands in both radial and longitudinal directions in relation to the amount of radially-outwardly directed force by the balloon.
