Hi.

We'd need a lot more information to be able to help.

How far have you got? (use a link to your onshape document, making sure it's not read only.)

What are you stuck on? (Marked up screen-grab maybe?)

How detailed do you need the model?

What is a vascular stent?  (Add images perhaps)

What is your end goal? (Just a model, 3D print, CNC etc?)

Please have a look at this post.

I'll leave it to you to add the configs for wire dia, length, tube dia, and radius' at the weld joints

This was modeled to represent the image below, but I'm at the bar and ain't that good with cell phone Onshape

Yea, I have a lot of respect for anyone who can actually model with the mobile app.   Ew...

Real problem witd the android app is you can't resize the tree, so I was stuck working with only 2 rows visible at a lime.  Highlighted in yellow. Today there are 5 rows at least..

That and the hell that is chasing down sketch relations...  
what a neglected garbage app Onshape has..

Here’s what I see on my iPhone 8 Plus. So I could definitely understand your frustration. 

Working on that stent only being able to see two features in the tree — yikes!!
You went above and beyond the call of duty
That’s some great work.
