Embodiment Construction
[0022] The present invention is directed to an expandable stent having a geometry that is well-suited for crimping the stent onto a delivery device. In some, but not necessarily all embodiments of the present invention, the stents may have an expanded diameter that is 3 to 6 times that of its crimped diameter. In addition, in some—but not necessarily all—embodiments the stent-to-vessel ratios may be better than 15%.
[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, as is shown in FIGS. 1 & 2, a stent is comprised of a main body section 100 having a longitudinal axis 1000. The stent shown in FIG. 1 is mounted on a carrier 616. The main body is comprised of a plurality of first helical segments 120a and 120b and a plurality of second helical segments 150a and 150b. The first helical segments form a helical angle α with respect to the longitudinal axis 1000 of the stent, resulting in the first helical segments having a first pitch. The second helical segments 150a and 150b form a heli...
