Publication number: 20110144736Abstract: The present invention is directed to a flexible expandable stent for implantation in a body lumen, such as a coronary artery. The stent generally includes a series of metallic cylindrical rings longitudinally aligned on a common axis of the stent and interconnected by a series of links which be polymeric or metallic. Varying configurations and patterns of the links provides longitudinal and flexural flexibility to the stent while maintaining sufficient column strength to space the cylindrical rings along the longitudinal axis. The metallic material forming the rings provides the necessary radial stiffness.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2010Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: Abbott Cardiovascular Systems Inc.Inventors: Santosh Prabhu, Brian Brandt, Henjen Ho, Kyle Marie Krueger, Grayson Morris, Carla Rosa Pienknagura
