Abstract

See full text

A stent for transluminal implantation in hollow organs, in particular in blood vessels, ureters, oesophagae or gall tracts, comprising a substantially tubular body is described. The stent can be transformed from a compressed state with a first cross-sectional diameter into an expanded state with a second enlarged cross-sectional diameter. The wall of the tubular body has apertures which repeat both in the longitudinal direction and also in the peripheral direction of the stent and permit the expansion. Each aperture has at least one section which is arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the stent, both in the compressed state and also in the expanded state of the stent.
