<p>The invention relates to a stent comprising terminal anchoring elements. Said stent ( 10 ) is provided with a tubular wall that extends along a longitudinal, flexible tubular axis ( 26 ), is formed from a flexible grid structure, and has tube ends ( 20 ) lying on opposing axis ends. Said wall consists of annular wall segments ( 11 ) that are lined up along the axis and are interconnected by means of connection segments ( 12 ). The annular wall segments ( 11 ) contain wall elements ( 14, 15 ) having an elastic structure. The inventive stent is characterised in that the wall comprises a flexible, arched anchoring element ( 22 ) on at least one tube end ( 20, 20 '), said anchoring element being connected to at least two terminal wall elements ( 14, 15, 14', 15 ') in such a way as to form one component, bridging at least one elastic wall element ( 14, 15 ), and there is a larger radial distance between the ogive ( 24 ) of the arched anchoring element ( 22 ) and the tubular axis ( 26 ) than between the terminal wall elements ( 14, 15 ) and the tubular axis.</p> |
