A stent (1) is provided with a plurality of first wave-shaped struts (3) extending in the axial direction of the stent (1) and arranged in the circumferential direction of the stent (1), a plurality of second wave-shaped struts (4) each located between the first wave-shaped struts (3), and one or more connecting struts (5) for each interconnecting the first wave-shaped strut (3) and the second wave-shaped strut (4) which are adjacent to each other, the one or more connecting struts (5) extending in the axial direction over a predetermined length. The apexes (41, 42) of the second wave-shaped struts (4) are shifted a predetermined distance in the axial direction of the stent (1) relative to the apexes (31, 32) of the first wave-shaped struts (3) which are located close to the apexes (41, 42) in the circumferential direction of the stent (1) and which are curved in the same direction as the apexes (41, 42).
