Original Abstract Submitted
A stent includes a plurality of unit cells. Within each unit cell, a first set of struts define a first plurality of apices and a second set of struts define a second plurality of apices, wherein a first strut and a second strut of the first set of struts define a first apex with a first apex angle, and the second strut and a third strut of the first set of struts define a second apex with a second, different apex angle. Within each unit cell, a fourth strut and a fifth strut of the second set of struts define a third apex with the first apex angle, and the fifth strut and the sixth strut define a fourth apex with the second apex angle. Each apex of the first plurality of apices is circumferentially offset from another apex of the second plurality of apices.
