English to French Tech/Engineering Patents A radially-expansible annular stent

the luminally extending side walls of the struts of the stenting turns extend in a plane which intersects the longitudinal axis.



wherein the transverse cross-section of each connector strut extends luminally (towards the longitudinal axis) only as far as a distance further from the longitudinal axis than the luminal surface of the stent annulus.

wherein the transverse cross-section of each connector strut extends abluminally (away from the longitudinal axis) only as far as a lesser distance from the longitudinal axis than the abluminal surface of the stent annulus.
