Abstract: Multilayer stents, as well as methods for their use and kits comprising the same, are provided. The subject multilayer stents include at least two distinct layers or structures concentrically arranged in a manner sufficient to provide a multilayer stent that exhibits enhanced flexibility in a compressed state and enhanced hoop strength in an expanded state, as compared to a single layer stent of the same thickness. The subject multilayer stents find use in a variety of different applications, including vascular applications in which the stents are implanted into the vascular system of a patient.
