摘要：
A biocompatible material may be configured into any number of implantable medicaldevices including intraluminal stents. Polymeric materials may be utilizedto fabricate any of these devices, including stents. The stents may be balloonexpandable or self-expanding. The polymeric materials may include additivessuch as drugs or other bioactive agents as well as radiopaque agents. By preferentialmechanical deformation of the polymer, the polymer chains may be oriented toachieve certain desirable performance characteristics. The stent has a pluralityof hoop components interconnected by at least one flexible connector. The hoopcomponents are formed as a continuous series of alternating substantially longitudinallyoriented strut members and connector junction struts, whereas the longitudinalstrut is connected to the connector junction strut by alternating substantiallycircumferentially oriented arc members.
