Disclosed is a stent for transluminal implantation in hollow organs, particularly in blood vessels, the ureter, the esophagus, the colon, the duodenum or bile ducts. The stent comprises a first section comprising a substantially tubular first body which extends along a first longitudinal axis and comprises a first lateral end and a first central end; a second section comprising a substantially tubular second body which extends along a second longitudinal axis and comprises a second lateral end and a second central end, wherein the first and second stent sections are connected to each other in the region of the central ends by means of a coupling section, the stent comprising a plurality of cells which are defined by bordering elements formed by the tubular bodies, and wherein the first central end of the first stent section is embodied in a sloping manner.

Stent for using in bifurcations

The invention relates to a stent for transluminal implantation in hollow organs, in particular in blood vessels, ureters, esophagi, colons, duodena, or bile ducts, comprising a substantially tubular body, which can be transferred from a compressed state having a first cross-sectional diameter into an expanded state having an enlarged second cross-sectional diameter, wherein the stent comprises a plurality of cells, which are defined by bordering elements formed by the tubular body. The stent is distinguished in that some of the cells are extended in the longitudinal direction of the stent in comparison with the remaining cells in order to form a slanted end face of the stent.
