The present application relates to endoluminal devices and methods. An endoluminal device configured for precise positioning during deployment within a vessel. The endoluminal device may be a nail, stent, vascular implant or other type of implant. The endoluminal device can have a circumferential member with an undulating configuration having a plurality of inner and outer apices and struts extending therebetween. Two of the struts may be used to establish feet for precise positioning of the device during deployment. A method of placing an endoluminal device can include withdrawing an outer sheath to cause a portion of the endoluminal device to expand earlier than the rest of the endoluminal device. |
