<p>A stent formed by connecting loop stents together by struts is configured so that the entire stent deflects uniformly. A stent (A) is formed by connecting loop stents (2) together by struts (3). The loop stents (2) are each formed by joining together ends of stent main wires (1) folded in a zigzag shape. The bending strength of a strut (3) is greater than the bending strength of a stent main wire (1).</p>
