Abstract
A monolithic device comprising an ultra-dense stent cell pattern including a plurality of structural members that diverts the majority of blood flow without restricting blood flow completely. The method of making medical devices comprises vapor depositing an initial film onto a substrate, laser cutting a device pattern through the initial film, electropolishing the patterned device while disposed on the substrate, and releasing the patterned device from the substrate.
