ABSTRACT:
A stent constructed from at least two individual monolithic stent units is provided. The stent includes at least two individual stent units. Each individual stent unit has, as a monolithic structure, a first strut, a second strut, and a third strut. A first apex adjoins the first and second struts, and a second apex adjoining the second and third struts, where the second apex is disposed in a direction generally opposite the first apex. The monolithic stent unit includes an attachment mechanism at the end of at least the first strut. The first strut of each monolithic stent unit is joined at an attachment point to the third strut of an adjacent monolithic stent unit. The attachment mechanism is bent to form an angle relative to the attachment point. A method of manufacturing the same stent also is provided.
