ABSTRACT:
A vascular stent for reducing hemodynamic disturbances caused by angioplasty. The stent is formed from a single filament of low memory biocompatible material having a series of U-shaped bends. The filament is wrapped around a mandril, in a circular fashion, in order to align the curved portions of each bend which may then be connected. The stent provides a maximum amount of structural support for the lumen while minimizing hemodynamic disturbances inside the lumen.
