A stent in a non-expanded state has a first column expansion strut pair. A
plurality of the first column expansion strut pair form a first expansion
column. A plurality of second column expansion strut pair form a second
expansion column. A plurality of first serial connecting struts form a
first connecting strut column that couples the first expansion column to
the second expansion column. The first expansion column, the second
expansion column, and the first connecting strut column form a plurality
of geometric cells. At least a portion of the plurality are asymmetrical
geometric cells.
