A medical implant (10a, 10b), in particular a stent (12a, 12b), for implantation in an animal body and/or human body (14a, 14b), comprising a base body (16a, 16b) which includes at least two segments (18a, 18a′, 18b, 18b′; 20a, 20a′, 20b, 20b′) having at least two deflection points (24a, 24b; 26a, 26b) that are diametrically opposed in the axial direction (22a, 22b), and at least one adjusting means (28a, 28b; 30a, 30b) that acts on the deflection points (24a, 24b; 26a, 26b) to adjust an extension (32a, 32b) of the base body (16a, 16b) in the circumferential direction (34a, 34b). It is provided that an axial distance (36a, 36b) between the two deflection points (24a, 24b; 26a, 26b) can be shortened using the adjusting means (28a, 28b; 30a, 30b). |
