Expandable medical device with improved spatial distribution

An expandable medical device comprising:

• a plurality of struts interconnected to form first and third substantially cylindrical tissue supporting bodies which provide radial support to the walls of a body passageway;
• a plurality of first non-deforming openings in the plurality of struts, said first non-deforming openings containing a beneficial agent;
• a plurality of inflexible elements positioned between the first and third substantially cylindrical tissue supporting bodies forming a second substantially cylindrical tissue supporting body, wherein the inflexible elements provide a row for drug delivery between the first and third substantially cylindrical tissue supporting bodies;
• a plurality of second non-deforming openings in the plurality of inflexible elements, said second non-deforming openings containing a beneficial agent;
• and
• a plurality of flexible connectors connecting the first and third substantially cylindrical tissue supporting bodies to the second substantially cylindrical tissue supporting body, wherein the plurality of flexible connectors provide longitudinal flexibility to the device;
• and
• wherein the inflexible elements remain rigid during expansion of the expandable medical device;
• wherein the flexible connectors have substantially greater flexibility in the longitudinal direction than the first, second or third tissue supporting bodies;
• wherein the first and second non-deforming openings are through-holes;
• wherein the flexible connectors are devoid of any openings;
• and
• wherein the shape of the inflexible elements is different from the shape of the struts.
