<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple joint structure in which a fold-back end, folded part, or enlarged-diameter part of a linear component has no adverse effects on a balloon or artificial vessel, when the linear component such as a strut, hook for stabilizer, or the like is connected to a stent main wire through a joint pipe. <P>SOLUTION: The joint structure of the stent main wire and the linear component allows the stent main wire 2 and the strut 4 to be connected through the joint pipe 7, and the end 4a of the strut 4 passing through the joint pipe 7 to be folded back, folded, or diameter-enlarged. At least an outside of the fold-back end 11, enlarged-diameter end 12, or folded end 13 is chamfered so as to form a chamfer 11a, 12a, or 13a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
