A stent (10) for transluminal implantation comprising a single-piece tubular member (12) having a fenestrated sidewall (18) exhibiting a pattern of uniformly spaced openings defined by intersecting strands (20, 22) where the strands (20, 22) are in- tegrally joined together at their points of intersection whereby the tubular member (12) can be radially compressed from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter by the application of a uniform inwardly directed radial force and which self-expands to a larger diameter when the radial compressive force is removed. The compression and subsequent self-expansion occurs without an ap- ?reciable change in the stent's length. By forming the stent (10) from a thermoplastic material, it may later be resected by carving ?up into small pieces preferably using an electrosurgical instrument.
