Abstract

An expandable stent comprising a proximal end and a distal end in communication with one another. A tubular wall is disposed between the proximal end and the distal end. The tubular wall having a longitudinal axis and a poroussurface defined by a plurality intersecting members arranged to define a first repeating pattern comprised of a polygon. The polygon has a pair of side walls substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, a concave-shaped first wall having a first apex and a convex-shaped second wall having a second apex, the first wall and the second wall connecting the side walls. At least one of the first apex and the second apex is substantially flat. The stent is expandable from a first, contracted position to a second, expanded position upon the application of a radially outward force on the stent. A bifurcated stent including the first repeating pattern is also described.

Claims (66)

  1. What is claimed is:

    l. An expandable stent comprising a proximal end and a distal end in communication with one another, a tubular wall disposed between the proximal endand the distal end, the tubular wall having a longitudinal axis and a porous surface defined by a plurality intersecting members arranged to define a first repeatingpattern comprised of a polygon having a pair of side walls substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, a concave-shaped first wall having a first apex and a conex-shaped second wall having a second apex, the first wall and the second wall connecting the side walls, at least one of the first apex and the second apex being substantially flat, the stent being expandable from a first, contracted position to a second, expanded position upon the application of a radially outward force on the stent.
  2. 2. The stent defined in claim 1, wherein both the first apex and the second apexare substantially flat.
  3. 3. The stent defined in any one of claims 1-2, wherein the first apex and the second apex are of different length.
  4. 4. The stent defined in claim 2, wherein the first apex and the second apex are of the same length.
  5. 5. The stent defined in any one of claims 2 and 4, wherein the first wall and the second wall are substantially equidistant from one another along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  6. 6. The stent defined in any one of claims 1-5, wherein one of the first apex andthe second apex is substantially arcuate.
  7. 7. The stent defined in any one of claims 1-6, further comprising a strut connecting the first apex to the second apex.
  8. 8. The stent defined in claim 7, wherein the strut is curved with respect to thelongitudinal axis.
  9. 9. The stent defined in claim 8, wherein the strut has length of up to about 35 %
    greater than the distance between the first apex and the second apex.
  10. 10. The stent defined in claim 8, wherein the strut has a length up to about 15 %
