A cylindrical stent (10) for placement in a vessel of a human body. The stent has a longitudinal axis and in its formation includes circumferential arcs (12) and diagonal struts (14) having an intersection angle between the circumferential arcs (12) and the diagonal struts (14) within the range of 10 to 80 degrees when the stent (10) is in its non-deployed state. The diagonal struts (14) are joined by curved sections (18) to the circumferential arcs (12) which collectively form a closed perimeter cell. The closed perimeter cell has two parallel, circumferential arcs (12) located at the longitudinal extremeties of the closed perimeter cell and the circumferential arcs (12) lie generally perpendicular to the stent's longitudinal axis where the stent (10) may be deployed in a manner so that although the length of the stent (10) increases during deployment, at the nominal fully deployed diameter, the deployed stent (10) is substantially the same length as the non-deployed length.
