STENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE STENT

A stent (1) includes a stent body having a circumference, a diameter of between approximately 12 mm, in particular 8 mm, and a length of between approximately 10 mm and approximately 250 mm, in particular, 150 mm, and struts disposed helically about the circumference in turns. Substantially circumfe...

More Information
Summary:A stent (1) includes a stent body having a circumference, a diameter of between approximately 12 mm, in particular 8 mm, and a length of between approximately 10 mm and approximately 250 mm, in particular, 150 mm, and struts disposed helically about the circumference in turns. Substantially circumferentially oriented connecting bridges connect respectively adjacent ones of the turns. A method for manufacturing a helical stent includes the steps of providing a stent body with struts disposed about the circumference thereof in turns and with bridges connecting the struts in adjacent turns. The stent body is expanded and, thereafter, some of the bridges, in particular, sacrificial bridges, are removed.
