The present embodiments provide a stent comprising a proximal segment having a zig-zag portion, which comprises a plurality of proximal and distal apices separated by a plurality of angled strut segments. A distal segment may comprise a connection strut, where the connection strut comprises a bent segment extending between adjacent distal apices of the zig-zag portion. The stent may comprise at least one diamond-shaped closed cell, which is bounded proximally by first and second angled strut segments of the zig-zag portion meeting at a first proximal apex of the zig-zag portion, and further bounded distally by the connection strut having the bent segment. At least one distal open region may be located distally beneath a second proximal apex of the zig-zag portion that is adjacent to the first proximal apex of the zig-zag portion. The at least one diamond-shaped closed cell may comprise an asymmetric shape.
