ABSTRACT:
A stent is provided which can be crimped to a reduced profile with reduced stress in the stent, while maintaining the strength and flexibility of the stent so that it can be advanced through the narrow passageways present in a patient's body and then expanded to dilate and/or circumferentially support the vessel wall. Also provided is a method of deploying such a stent.
