A stent apparatus comprises a stent formed of a biodegradable polymer material using polylactic acid having a shape memory property as a tubular shape and shape memorized to a size capable of scaffolding a vessel from the inside when implanted in the vessel; and a stent holding member formed of a biodegradable polymer material for covering the outer surface of the stent to hold the stent in a contracted state that is smaller in diameter than the shape memorized size, wherein a stent detecting member is attached to the stent and a part of the stent holding member is fixed to the stent detecting member.
