Abstract
This invention provides a stent-graft that has both shape-maintainability and flexibility, and when implanted in a living body, the stent-graft performs its intended functions for a considerably long period of time relative to conventional stent-grafts, without causing conflict. The stent-graft comprises a stent comprising multiple elastic rings and a graft. An auxiliary elastic wire whose rigidity is lower than that of the stent is arranged at the end-part of the graft, and the auxiliary elastic wire is connected to the multiple elastic rings at the opening part.
