Stent
A strand made of a platinum alloy material is prevented from protruding from both ends of a stent when some strands of the stent are disposed using the strand made of the platinum alloy material. In a stent ( 10 ) which is formed by helicoidally braiding a plurality of strands, some strands among the plurality of strands are disposed using a strand made of a platinum alloy material, and a length of the strand made of the platinum alloy material is made shorter than lengths of other strands by a length of the strand made of the platinum alloy material which is estimated to protrude from the stent.
1. A stent which is formed by helicoidally braiding a plurality of strands,
wherein some strands among the plurality of strands are disposed using a strand made of a platinum alloy material, and
wherein a length of the strand made of the platinum alloy material is made shorter than lengths of other strands by a length of the strand made of the platinum alloy material which is estimated to protrude from the stent.
2. The stent according to claim 1 ,
wherein some even-numbered strands among the plurality of strands are disposed using the strand made of the platinum alloy material.
3. The stent according to claim 2 ,
wherein two strands among the plurality of strands are disposed using the strand made of the platinum alloy material.
4. The stent according to claim 1 ,
wherein strands to be wound in the same direction among the plurality of strands are disposed using the strand made of the platinum alloy material.
5. The stent according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of strands are strands made of cobalt-chromium alloy material, and
wherein the strand made of the platinum alloy material is a strand made of a platinum-iridium alloy material.
