Expandable medical implants for maintaining support of a body lumen are
disclosed. These implants comprise a circumferentially nested,
diametrically expandable, moveable vascular device for enlarging an
occluded portion of a vessel. The device can be configured to allow for
motion such as rotating, translating, and/or slide and lock. One
advantage of the circumferentially nested stent is that it maintains the
expanded size, without significant recoil.
