1. An endovascular device, comprising:
a continuous component having a tubular shape and extending from a first end to a second end along a lengthwise direction of the endovascular device, wherein the continuous component comprises:
a plurality of windings having a crimped delivery diameter and an expanded implanted diameter, and are oriented in a helical direction of the endovascular device, wherein:
the windings have an undulating pattern comprising struts and loops, the loops being portions of the undulating pattern having a turn of about 180 degrees, wherein each end of a loop is coupled to an end of a strut forming a pair of struts,
adjacent loops in the helical direction are axially offset with respect to an axis perpendicular to the lengthwise direction to form a staggered pattern of alignment of adjacent loops,
at least one strut is a bent strut comprising a bent pattern along a length of the bent strut in the crimped delivery diameter, wherein the bent pattern comprises first and second bent sections having opposite curvature extending from each end of the bent strut toward a mid-section of the bent strut, and
the staggered pattern of alignment of adjacent loops is positioned such that the loops adjacent to the first and second bent sections in the helical direction are positioned to align with and nestle in the first and second bent sections, respectively, in the crimped delivery diameter to form a nestled arrangement.
