Abstract
A stent includes a stent body having a circumference and struts disposed helically about the circumference in turns. At least two of the struts have respective strut ends. At least two paddle-shaped markers extend away from a respective one of the strut ends. The markers have respective marker extreme ends and different overall longitudinal lengths substantially aligning the marker extreme ends approximately along a single circumference of the stent body. A method for manufacturing a helical stent includes the steps of providing a stent body with struts disposed about the circumference thereof in turns and with bridges connecting the struts in adjacent turns. The stent body is expanded and, thereafter, some of the bridges, in particular, sacrificial bridges, are removed.
