Abstract
A stent () comprising a hoselike body obtained by braiding a multiplicity of thin wires () of superelastic metal into plaited form. In the longitudinal intermediate portion of the hoselike body, mutually neighboring individual thins wires () of superelastic metal are in contact with each other or close to each other with a minute interspace and are formed into a thin wire densely braided hose portion () with a length needed to block any opening of blood vessel dilation. At both side portions thereof, mutually neighboring individual thin wires () of superelastic metal are formed into a thin wire coarsely braided hose portion () provided with an interstice allowing passage of blood flow. The hoselike body when pulled in the longitudinal direction causes the individual thin wires () of superelastic metal to stretch into fine gathering, and when released from pulling can make resilient restoration to the original hoselike body.
