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

Stent intraluminal infroissable destiné à être implanté dans une lumière de l'organisme. Le stent infroissable est composé d'une section de base à partir de laquelle se déploient de nombreux montants à résilience, parallèles et coplainaires à configuration en zigzag; les montants en zigzag sont recourbés et passent à travers des fentes correspondantes dans la section de base pour former un anneau cylindrique continu. L'amplitude de chaque montant en zigzag diminue lorsque ce dernier est placé sous tension et augmente lorsque le montant n'est pas sous tension ou est mis en compression. Par conséquent, tous les montants en zigzag peuvent être tirés à travers leurs fentes respectives dans la section de base, mais lorsque les montants en zigzag sont mis en compression, leur amplitude augmente et ils ne peuvent passer à travers la fente correspondante, ce qui permet de garder constant le diamètre du stent.
