This structure provides a combination of attributes that are desirable in a stent, such as, for example, substantial flexibility, 5 stability in supporting a vessel lumen, cell size and radial strength. The structure of the stent of the present invention provides a predetermined geometric relationship between the helical strut band and interconnected coil. Figure 1010/21 CCD maO LaL unnnw0 U)6 %"-
