摘要：
The invention relates generally to expandable medical implants for maintainingsupport of a body lumen and, in particular, to an axially nested, diametricallyexpandable, slide and lock vascular device for enlarging an occluded portionof a vessel. The axially nested vascular device desirably achieves both competitivecrossing profiles while maintaining other key features, such as, for example,radial strength and luminal patency. The collapsed profile can also be made verythin without compromising radial strength. Thus, the vascular device can advantageouslybe deployed in small and difficult to reach areas or vessels. The axial nestingsubstantially eliminates radial overlap between mating structural elementsthereby desirably allowing for a low, uniform profile.
