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 1):
An expandable, intraluminal stent, comprising:\n a plurality of rings connected to one another to form a series of said rings, the rings comprising a plurality of ring struts, the ring struts comprising shape memory alloy, the ring struts connected such that each of the plurality of rings comprises a sinusoidal pattern, the rings having a first stiffness and a first crush resistance; and at least one reinforcement ring comprising shape memory alloy at an end of the series of the plurality of rings such that the at least one reinforcement ring is the end ring of said stent, the reinforcement ring having a second stiffness and a second crush resistance.
