摘要:
Polymeric materials may be utilized to fabricate stents. The stents may be balloon expandable or self-expanding. The polymeric materials may include additives such as drugs or other bioactive agents as well as plasticizers and/or radiopaque agents. The polymeric stent (1000) has a plurality of hoop components (1002) interconnected by at least one flexible straight connector (1004). The hoop components (1002) are formed as a continuous series of alternating substantially longitudinally oriented strut members (1006) and connector junction struts (1010), whereas the longitudinal strut (1006) is connected to the connector junction strut (1010) by alternating substantially circumferentially oriented arc members (1008).
