Yomi Fool arround with a double helix. Make a right hand helix and then start a left hand helix rotated 90 deg from c-line of stent tube. You probibly won't get what you want on the first try, I would show you what I did but it's proprity stuff. Lots of luck Art L.
The way I've done this in the past is to first draw a flat plate. Then do a seed cut (or series of cuts) whatever shape you want your holes to be.

I'll try to remember to attach a file when I get back to my work machine.
