    摘要: An endoprosthesis for delivery in a body lumen can be configured to inhibit crack formation and/or crack propagation, and/or fatigue-induced catastrophic failure by the use of holes extending through an endoprosthetic element. As such, the endoprosthesis can include at least one strut element having a strut width and a strut thickness, the strut thickness being defined by a first side opposite a second side. The element can be characterized by having a plurality of holes extending from the first side to the second side. The plurality of holes can be arranged in an amount, distribution, and/or pattern so as to inhibit crack propagation across the strut length or strut width.

    摘要: Endoprosthesis, such as a stent, includes at least one annular element defined by a first set of strut members interconnected to define apices proximate opposite sides of the annular element. The annular element further includes a foot extension extending between at least one pair of circumferentially-adjacent strut members. The foot extension has first and second foot portions extending circumferentially from corresponding ends of the circumferentially-adjacent strut members, and are contoured to provide at least two areas of flexure. The first and second foot portions are joined at a toe portion of the foot extension, and define a circumferentially-directed apex between the pair of circumferentially-adjacent strut members. Preferably, at least one or more additional annular elements, each defined by interconnected strut members, are provided. The annular elements are generally expandable between a delivery configuration and a deployed configuration. The annular elements are longitudinally aligned and connected at connection locations with connectors, wherein at least one of the connectors is constructed of a bio-absorbable material.
