ABSTRACT:
A vascular prosthesis stent provides an interior surface that reduces hemodynamic disturbances which interfere with blood flow through the stent and minimizes the reactive tissue response. More particularly, the vascular stent is constructed from a continuous wire that is half-round (i.e., semi-circular) in transverse cross-section. In a completed stent, the semi-circular wire profiles are all on the exterior of the stent body while the planar portions of the wire are all on the interior, with the result that the interior of the stent, comprised of the cross-sectional diameters of the wires, provides a generally smooth surface that minimizes blood flow turbulence, and minimizes the amount of tissue reaction necessary to incorporate the stent into the vessel wall.
