Abstract:
A stent includes a high radial force segment and a highly flexible segment, where the diameters of the high radial force segment and the highly flexible segment are substantially the same. The stent may further be placed with an additional stent segment, where the additional stent segment has a radial force similar to the radial force of the highly flexible force segment.

Claim (Index 17):
An intraluminal stent, comprising:\n a plurality of circumferential rings having a first radial force and comprising a first plurality of interconnected struts connected in a sinusoidal pattern, the first plurality of interconnected struts comprising shape memory alloy; a plurality of flexible connectors connecting adjacent circumferential rings to form an expandable tube; and a reinforced end ring at an end region of the expandable tube and comprising a second plurality of alternating interconnected struts, the second plurality of interconnected struts comprising shape memory alloy, the reinforced end ring having a second radial force different from the first radial force.
