Preferred embodiments of a stent with a high degree of flexibility are shown and described. The stent can include a continuous helical winding and at least one bridge. The continuous helical winding has a plurality of circumferential sections that circumscribe a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end to define a tube. The circumferential sections are spaced apart along the axis. The at least one bridge is configured to connect one circumferential section to an axially-spaced adjacent circumferential section. The at least one bridge extends on a plane generally orthogonal with respect to the axis.

L'invention concerne un stent ayant un degré élevé de flexibilité. Le stent peut comprendre un enroulement hélicoïdal continu et au moins un pont. L'enroulement hélicoïdal continu a une pluralité de sections circonférentielles qui limitent un axe longitudinal depuis une première extrémité vers une deuxième extrémité de manière à définir un tube. Les sections circonférentielles sont espacées les unes des autres le long de l'axe. Le au moins un pont est configuré de manière à connecter une section circonférentielle à une section circonférentielle adjacente axialement espacée. Le au moins un pont s'étend sur un plan généralement orthogonal par rapport à l'axe.
