A stent having a structure made of a biocorrodible metallic material, having multiple web sections connected to one another, with a support structure made of a number of first web sections connected to one another, designed to assume a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent for a predefinable time after expansion; and at least one second web section electrically connected directly to a first web section of the support structure, which does not assume a function supporting the vascular wall or preserving the mechanical integrity of the stent for the predefined time after the expansion, and whose electrode potential E<SUB>2 </SUB>is reduced by a mechanical strain of the second web section during or before the expansion so it is lower than an electrode potential E<SUB>1 </SUB>of the first web section after the expansion.
