Highly flexible stent
Abstract:
A stent includes: wavy-line pattern bodies having a wavy-line pattern and arranged side-by-side in an axial direction; and coiled elements arranged between the wavy-line pattern bodies adjacent and extending in a spiral manner around an axis, in which all apices on opposite sides of the wavy-line pattern of the wavy-line pattern bodies that are adjacent are connected by way of the coiled element. When viewing in a radial direction, a circular direction-of the wavy-line pattern bodies is inclined with respect to the radial direction, and a winding direction of one of the coiled elements located at one side in the axial direction with respect to the wavy-line pattern bodies and a winding direction of one other of the coiled elements located at the other side in the axial direction are opposite.
