ABSTRACT:
A method of treating a bodily lumen with a stent including disposing a stent within a bodily lumen in which the stent has a plurality of deformable struts that are substantially circumferentially aligned is described. The deformable struts are configured to selectively deform in a circumferential direction in localized regions in the struts upon application of an outward radial force. The stent is expanded by applying the outward radial force which causes selective deformation of the deformable struts in a localized region in the struts.
