摘要: An intraluminal, crush resistant stent for implantation in a body lumen is disclosed. The made from base section having plurality of resilient, parallel, coplanar struts zig-zag configuration extending therefrom wherein the are curved and pass through corresponding slots to form continuous, cylindrical hoop. Each strut has an amplitude that decreases when placed under tension increases unstressed or compression. Accordingly, each can be pulled respective slot section, but compression assume larger cannot thereby maintaining diameter constant.
