Disclosed is a stent for a vessel implanted and left in the vessel of a living body to support the lumen of the vessel from inside. The stent for a vessel consists of a plurality of stent constituting members (4aand4b), formed by combining a plurality of the tubular-body constituting elements (5aand5b) in multistage, each of the tubular-body forming elements (5) comprising a part of a tubular member (2) is formed by bending a yarn (3) of a biodegradable polymer in a zigzag design. Each of stent constituting members (4aand4b) is comprised with tubular segments (6) formed by combining the tubular-body forming elements (5aand5b) facing each other, and by continuously joining at least neighboring parts of each tubular-body forming element (5aand5b) together, to comprise a continuously joined tubular body (2).
