Abstract

A stent has a center length section, two end sections, and an elastically deformable woven wire mesh, which enables the stent to expand from a small diameter to a larger diameter, with the diameter of the end sections being larger than in the center length section in the expanded state. The wire extends in a zig-zag manner from an outer end of one end section toward the outer end of the other end section, and back in a zig-zag manner to the one end section. The peripheral direction of the woven wire changes at the transition from an end section to the center length section, such that the wire intersects on the return path to the one end section in the center length section and overall forms an 8-shaped loop having two closed eyes, wherein a plurality of interconnected loops are arranged offset to each other over the circumference.
