A generally tubular braided flow diverting stent is formed of alternatinground andrectangular elongated members, for treatment of aneurysms. The generallytubular braided flowdiverting stent maintains a significant wall thickness while increasing areacoverage of a vesselwall. Sliding of the round elongated members over the rectangular elongatedmembers allows thestent to be crimped to very low diameters for delivery in narrow portions ofthe vasculature.
