An intravascular stent,has an elastic self-expandable cylindrical stent proper,. The stent proper,is connected to metal support wires,that are long enough to reach outside of the body of a patient through a catheter,. Manipulation of the support wires,pushes the stent proper,into a blood vessel from within the catheter, thereby allowing it to expand there, and then contracts and retracts the stent proper,into the catheter,, repeatedly.
