A stent has a stent main wire. The strut is disposed adjacent to the stent main wire and a junction pipe disposed around the stent main wire and strut so as to affix the stent main wire to the strut. A locking part is formed at an end of the strut to prevent the strut from sliding out of the junction pipe. The locking part comprises a folded back portion, wherein a distal most end of the folded back portion abuts with a distal most end of the junction pipe, a swelling portion, wherein a distal most end of the swelling portion is abutting a distal most end of the junction pipe, or a bent portion, wherein a distal most end of the bent portion is abutting with a distal most end of the junction pipe.
