Disclosed is a stent for a vessel implanted and left in the vessel of a living body to support the lumen of the vessel from inside. The stent for a vessel consists of a plurality of stent constituting members ( 4 a and 4 b), formed by combining a plurality of the tubular-body constituting elements ( 5 a and 5 b) in multistage, each of the tubular-body forming elements ( 5 ) comprising a part of a tubular member ( 2 ) is formed by bending a yarn ( 3 ) of a biodegradable polymer in a zigzag design. Each of stent constituting members ( 4 a and 4 b) is comprised with tubular segments ( 6 ) formed by combining the tubular-body forming elements ( 5 a and 5 b) facing each other, and by continuously joining at least neighboring parts of each tubular-body forming element ( 5 a and 5 b) together, to comprise a continuously joined tubular body ( 2 ).
