1. A self-expanding intravascular implant comprising:

  • a proximal undulating ring on a proximal side of the intravascular implant comprising a plurality of proximal struts, the plurality of proximal struts comprising a plurality of first proximal struts and a plurality of second proximal struts, wherein each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to at least one second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts, wherein a proximal end of each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to a proximal end of a second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts to form a plurality of first proximal apices and a distal end of each first proximal strut of the plurality of first proximal struts is connected to a distal end of a second proximal strut of the plurality of second proximal struts to form a plurality of first distal apices, wherein at least one first proximal apex of the plurality of first proximal apices defines a proximal end of the intravascular implant;

    a distal undulating ring on a distal side of the intravascular implant comprising a plurality of distal struts, the plurality of distal struts comprising a plurality of first distal struts and a plurality of second distal struts, wherein each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to at least one second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts, wherein a distal end of each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to a distal end of a second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts to form a plurality of second distal apices and a proximal end of each first distal strut of the plurality of first distal struts is connected to a proximal end of a second distal strut of the plurality of second distal struts to form a plurality of second proximal apices, wherein at least one second distal apex of the plurality of second distal apices defines a distal end of the intravascular implant;

    at least one bridge member located between the proximal undulating ring and the distal undulating ring and connecting at least one first distal apex of the plurality of first distal apices to at least one second proximal apex of the plurality of second proximal apices;

    wherein the intravascular implant has a compression force curve being a measure of the amount of radial compression force required to compress the intravascular implant along a range of outer diameters, and has an expansion force curve being a measure of the amount of radial expansion force exerted by the intravascular implant when the intravascular implant self-expands along the range of outer diameters, wherein the range of outer diameters is at least about 2 mm and a change in radial force along the expansion force curve is no more than about 3 Newtons (N) along the range of outer diameters.
