Definitions
- the present invention relates to a medical stent used for maintaining an inner diameter of a body lumen in an expanded state by being expanded and placed in a body lumen such as a blood vessel.
- a stent is used to prevent a stenosis portion of a coronary artery from being re-stenotic by recoil or the like after being expanded using a balloon.
- the stent has, for example, a substantially cylindrical peripheral wall portion, and the peripheral wall portion is constituted by a linear body extending in a circumferential spiral while reciprocating with a predetermined amplitude in the axial direction.
- a stent inserted into a body lumen such as a coronary artery in a radially contracted state is expanded in the radial direction by a balloon or by self-expansion using the shape memory effect of the stent itself. It is placed in close contact with the inner wall surface.
- restenosis caused by recoil or the like is prevented by the radial rigidity of the stent, and the inner diameter of the body lumen is maintained in a state of being expanded by the balloon.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a structure provided with a connecting portion (connector 30) that connects adjacent portions in the linear direction in the linear body. Thereby, the rigidity of the longitudinal direction of the stent is increased, and the shape is stabilized.
- the present invention has been made in the background of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its solution is to prevent the bias of the linear body during expansion, so that substantially uniform expansion is realized over the whole, and the detention is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stent having a novel structure that can exhibit superior flexibility and follow the shape of a body lumen to prevent stent fracture or damage to body tissue.
- the first aspect of the present invention has a cylindrical peripheral wall portion, and the peripheral wall portion is formed by a linear body extending in a circumferential spiral while reciprocating with a predetermined amplitude in the axial direction.

Therefore, when the stent is expanded (expanded deformation) by balloon expansion or shape restoration based on the shape memory effect, the stent is stably expanded to the desired shape, and the rigidity due to the bias of the linear body Variation and partial expansion failure are prevented.
- the weak part is broken by the placement of the stent in the body lumen, so that the connection by the connecting part is released. After the weak part is broken, it is adjacent in the axial direction of the linear body. The portion is allowed to move in the axial direction, and the increase in rigidity due to the provision of the connecting portion is released. As a result, the followability of the stent to the curvature of the body lumen is enhanced, so that the occurrence of stent fracture (stent buckling) can be prevented, and problems such as restenosis caused by the fracture can be prevented. It is also possible to prevent damage to body tissue due to contact of the end of the stent.
- the weak part may be comprised by the whole connection part, and may be provided partially with respect to the connection part.
- the fragile portion is fractured due to stress acting on the connection portion due to bending deformation of the body lumen based on posture change or pulsation of the body lumen due to blood flow or the like.

Thus, the axial deviation of the linear body is prevented, and the stent is expanded to a desired shape. Further, when the stent is placed in the body lumen, the fragile portion is broken at the connection portion located in the intermediate portion in the length direction of the linear body, and the flexibility of the stent is enhanced. On the other hand, in the indwelling state of the stent, the connecting portions located at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of the linear body are held in a connected state, so that the stent is prevented from being easily deformed more than necessary. The shape stability is ensured. As a result, the close contact state of the both end portions of the stent with the body lumen is maintained, and the placed stent is stably positioned at a predetermined position in the body lumen.
