CA 2439088

An intravascular stent especially suited for implanting in curved arterial portions. The stent retains longitudinal flexibility after expansion. The stent includes a plurality of first circumferential bands containing a pattern of loops at a first frequency and a plurality of second circumferential bands containing a pattern of loops at a second frequency higher than said first frequency, alternating with said first circumferential bands and periodically coupled thereto to form cells. The high frequency elements provide a flexibility after expansions which can be repeatedly stress by the beating heart, with out exceeding the elastic limit of the stent material.

L'invention porte sur un stent intravasculaire approprié notamment pour être implanté dans des sections artérielles courbes. Le stent conserve sa flexibilité longitudinale après extension et comprend une pluralité de bandes circonférentielles contenant une configuration de boucles à une première fréquence et une pluralité de secondes bandes circonférentielles contenant une configuration de boucles à une seconde fréquence supérieure à la première, alternant avec des premières bandes circonférentielles et couplées périodiquement de façon à former des cellules. Les éléments haute fréquence génèrent une flexibilité après extension et peuvent être soumis de manière itérative à un effort par le battement cardiaque sans dépasser la limite d'élasticité du matériau du stent.
