ABSTRACT:
A stent, in particular a coronary stent, comprising at least two tubular portions which are arranged adjacently in the longitudinal direction of the stent and which comprise a plurality of interconnected, substantially cell-shaped elements which have an orientation and are connected together in the longitudinal direction of the stent by way of at least one first connecting means, wherein the elements are of such an arrangement and/or configuration that the ends of the elements which are in the longitudinal direction of the stent define an edge contour extending around the stent in a wave-like configuration in the peripheral direction thereof, and wherein the mutually adjoining edge contours of two tubular portions extend around the stent substantially in in-phase relationship.
