A stent comprising an essentially tubular open supporting structure (4) of interconnected trusses (9), whereby the supporting structure (4) can be widened radially with deformation of the trusses (9) for application of the stent, and predetermined breaking points (14) in the supporting structure (4) for fragmentation of the stent after application, and the ends (10, 11) of the trusses (9) that are adjacent to the respective predetermined breaking point (14) having a joint design and which are provided in the area of the predetermined breaking point (14), such that the ends (10, 11) of the trusses (9) are held together with articulation under an applied pressure with the predetermined breaking point (14) broken.
