A medical stent for use in a procedure for connecting two adjacent tissues in a human organ to form a passageway therebetween or a procedure for draining or shunting away internal fluids such as bile, pus, or the like. To manufacture the stent, a hollow tubular mesh body having diamond-like cells is weaved using super-elastic shape memory wire strands, both axial ends of the mesh body are expanded and multi-folded to form washer-shaped ends, and the both washer-shaped ends are provided with respective reinforced supportive rims formed by narrowing the cells of the end portions of the mesh body such that the wire strands at each axial end of the mesh body are superimposed to improve radial supporting force. The stent can lock in place when staying implanted in a human body.
