A stent is disclosed, which is capable of preventing connection sections from overlapping with each other in a radial direction when a force is applied inadvertently thereto by adjusting distribution of the connection sections with respect to a direction of helix of the strut. A link portion of the stent includes connection sections provided integrally with one helical portion and other helical portions adjacent to each other, and disposed in positions overlapped with each other at least partly along an axial direction of a cylindrical shape in a state of opposing to each other, and a biodegradable material connecting connection sections by being interposed between the connection sections.
