ABSTRACT:
A stent, to be implanted in a human body, is made of a super-elastic metal which is formed approximately cylindrically and integrally and which shows super-elasticity before and after said stent is inserted into said human body. The stent has a plurality of annular parts (expansion element) deformable in a direction in which an outer diameter thereof contracts, when a stress is applied thereto and a plurality of connection parts (connection element) each connecting said adjacent annular parts to each other, with said annular parts arranged in an axial direction of said stent. Each of said annular parts is elastically deformable owing to super-elasticity thereof, whereas each of said connection parts is substantially a plastically deformable part not super-elastic entirely or partly.
