A tubular knitted stent (1) or stent graft for placement in a lumen or bodypassage iscompressible, thus presenting a compressed outer diameter and a non-compressedouterdiameter. The stent (1) or stent graft has knitted loops (12) each haying aloop width (5),wherein the loop width (5) to non-compressed outer diameter (2) ratio islarger than 0.2 for atleast one knitted loop.
