Anti-displacement bracket

Abstract

An illustrative stent comprises an elongated tubular member comprising at least one strut or filament forming a tubular wall having a plurality of cells extending through the thickness of the tubular wall. The elongated tubular member can be configured to move between a radially collapsed configuration and a radially expanded configuration. A coating is disposed on the elongated tubular member and spans the plurality of cells. The coating forms recesses within at least some of the plurality of cells and extends radially into the interior of the tubular wall to define gaps. In some cases, a partition or wall is located in at least some of the recesses and transverses the gaps.
