A stent and a stent delivery system are configured to exhibit good slip strength, flexibility, and expandability. The stent includes a plurality of wave-shaped struts positioned at intervals in the circumferential direction of the stent, and a plurality of connecting struts positioned between the wave-shaped struts. Each of the wave-shaped struts extends from one end to the other end in the axial direction, and has proximate portions that form portions in the vicinity of an adjacent wave-shaped strut, distant portions that form portions away from the adjacent wave-shaped strut, and straight portions that connect the proximate portions and the distant portions. The straight portions extend in the circumferential direction of the stent in a state in which the stent is mounted on the balloon. The connecting struts connect to each other the distant portions of adjacent wave-shaped struts.
