摘要:
An endoprosthesis comprises a plurality of serpentine bands. Each serpentine band comprises a plurality of interconnected struts forming peaks and troughs. Adjacent serpentine bands are interconnected by one or more connectors. First and second serpentine bands are connected via at least one connector. The connector has a first side facing one the struts and a second side facing another of the struts. The connector extends from an inside of a trough of the first serpentine bands to the outside of a trough of the other of the serpentine bands. The connector has a first bump extending from the first side and a second bump extending from the second side opposite the first, the first bump located adjacent a first peak and the second bump located adjacent a second peak.
