    Abstract: Stents that are adapted to be balloon-expanded and include a plurality of rings of repeating cells, wherein adjacent rings are connected by s-shaped or omega-shaped crosslink connectors or a combination of both connectors. The configurations, materials, and/or dimensions of these devices, including the unit cells and/or crosslink connectors allow the stents to be expanded to a greater extent (e.g., up to or greater than 12 mm of diameter), and optionally with reduced foreshortening and without increasing the strain on the materials forming the crosslink connectors and unit cells. The biphasic arrangement of trapezoidal unit cells, as well as the configuration and arrangement of the s-shaped connectors, may allow these stents to expand while maintaining their radial compression strength and longitudinal compression strength with minimal recoil and stent foreshortening.
