Abstract
A stent includes a plurality of first wave-shaped struts extending in the axial direction of the stent and arranged in the circumferential direction of the stent, a plurality of second wave-shaped struts each located between the first wave-shaped struts, and one or more connecting struts each interconnecting the first wave-shaped strut and the second wave-shaped strut which are adjacent to each other, with the one or more connecting struts extending in the axial direction over a predetermined length. The apexes of the second wave-shaped struts are shifted a predetermined distance in the axial direction of the stent relative to the apexes of the first wave-shaped struts which are located close to the apexes in the circumferential direction of the stent and which are curved in the same direction as the apexes.
