A stent having a generally tubular body formed of ring units formed of a plurality of cells each and expandable in the radial direction, wherein each ring unit is constituted of cells connected to one another above and below, arranged to surround the center line of the stent, the ring units are arranged in the axial direction of the stent, and are connected with connector portions, each connector portion is formed of curved portions each having an arch and a generally linear portion continued thereto, 3 to 8 cells are arranged in the axial direction per 10 mm of the length of the stent, and the ratio of the length of the cell in the axial direction and the length of the connector portion is determined such that on the basis that when the length of the cell is 100, that of the connector portionto, thereby securing flexibility and radial sustaining force.

Stent

A stent () formed into a generally or substantially tubular body and expandable radially outward from inside of the tubular body, wherein cells () are connected vertically and so arranged as to surround the central axis (C) of the stent () and thereby to form annular units (), the annular units () are extended along the axis of the stent (), adjacent annular units () are connected at least at one portion by a connecting part (), each of the cells () has at least one bent portion, and the angle of the bent portion after expansion of the tubular body until the diameter becomes 2.5 mm is larger than 30&#xb0;. The stent ensures a high flexibility and radial support force, enhances the blood vessel expandability, and suppresses the foreshortening phenomenon and the flare phenomenon.

A combustion type heater of this invention includes fuel distribution means for distributing a fuel to the whole surface of a wick disposed upstream of the wick in a fuel passage. The fuel distribution means comprises fuel distribution grooves and a fuel dispersion plate having a large number of holes bored therein. The fuel distribution means can quickly supply the fuel to the whole surface of the wick. To shorten the heating time of the wick, the heater of the present invention uses a wick heating glow plug outside an ignition glow plug or a planar heater for heating the wick.
