PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stent which has such a novel structure that the stent exhibits a stable deformed state even when being affected by an action of external force such as expansion and contraction, and bending, and effectively prevents adjacent cylindrical bodies from being hooked and from generating an interference noise.SOLUTION: In a stent 10 in which a plurality of cylindrical bodies 12 comprising a plurality of linear parts 16 and turn parts 18 are mutually connected by connection parts 14, the turn parts 18 are positioned to face in an axial direction in such a manner as to be staggered with respect to each other in a circumferential direction, and the respective connection points 20 and 20 of the connection parts 14 are positioned on a straight line L1 in parallel with the axial direction without being slanted with respect to the axial direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】伸縮や曲げ等の外力の作用に際しても安定した変形状態が発揮されると共に、隣接する筒状態の引っ掛かりや干渉異音の発生が効果的に回避される、新規な構造のステントを提供する。【解決手段】複数の線状部16とターン部18から構成された筒状体12の複数が、接続部14で相互に接続されたステント10において、ターン部18が周方向で互いにずれた状態で軸方向に対向位置しており、且つ、接続部14の各接続点20,20が軸方向に傾斜しないで軸方向と平行な直線L1上に位置している。【選択図】図2
