Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide implants having high fatigue resistance, implant delivery systems, and methods of use.SOLUTION: A fatigue resistant stent comprises a flexible tubular structure having an inside diameter, an outside diameter, and a sidewall therebetween and having apertures extending through the sidewall. The apertures separate struts 6B joined at apices, and the apices have a structure to exhibit a level of tensile strain. According to other aspects of the invention, processes for making the fatigue resistant stent are disclosed. According to further aspects of the invention, delivery systems for the fatigue resistant stent and methods of use are provided.
