Abstract
The present invention concerns an endoprosthesis with a highly flexible structure that is configured to provide an elevated degree of vessel scaffolding and to absorb torque applied on the endoprosthesis. In one embodiment, a method of deploying the endoprosthesis in a body lumen includes locating an endoprosthesis in a contracted delivery configuration in the body lumen, disposing the endoprosthesis in a location of the body lumen to receive the endoprosthesis in an expanded deployed configuration, and deploying the endoprosthesis to transition the endoprosthesis from the contracted delivery configuration to the expanded deployed configuration. The endoprosthesis includes a plurality of longitudinally adjacent web rings including a plurality of adjoined web elements and a plurality of junction bends adjoining pairs of the plurality of adjoined web elements, and S-shaped connectors for connecting the web rings.
