Original Abstract Submitted

Devices, systems, and methods for treating defects in anatomical structures are disclosed. A device may include a stent having a tubular member with a first end, a second end, and a lumen between the first end and the second end. A wire having a first end and a second end may form a plurality of annular rows between the first end and the second end, where the rows may define the lumen. The wire of the stent may define a plurality of turns in each row of the plurality of annular rows and may have no overlapping portions along the rows. A gap may extend between consecutive rows of the plurality of rows and a connecting segment may span across the gap to interconnect two rows of the plurality of rows. The connecting segment may be the only portion of the wire that spans across the gap.
