A stent arranged in a stenosis portion of the intracavital has a deformable frame urged so as to expand in a radially outward direction thereof and a generally cylindrical film-like member which is removably mounted around an outer periphery of the frame and which is expandable and reducible in a radial direction thereof.

Stent

A stent for dilating an internal lumen includes tubular segments that are arranged side by side in its axial direction. Each of segments expands and contracts in the diametrical direction of the stent, and its axial length is shorter than its expanded-state radius.
