Abstract
Disclosed herein are stents manufactured to include increased surface area for bioactive material deposition or enhanced radiopacity at various locations along the length of the stent. The stents of the present invention also can also be manufactured to create a less abrupt transition between stented and unstented portions of a vessel. A less abrupt transition is created by providing increased surface area for bioactive material deposition at the ends of the stent and/or providing end sections (and sections adjacent thereto) of the stents that are more flexible than more centrally located sections of the stent.
