A stent (1) includes a stent body having a circumference and struts disposed helically aboutthe circumference. Each of the struts has a strut length and a ratio of a number ofthe struts around the circumference to the strut length is greater than 800 perinch, in particular, over 1000 per inch. A method for manufacturing a helical stentincludes the steps of providing a stent body with struts disposed about the circumferencethereof in turns and with bridges (6) connecting the struts in adjacent turns.The stent body is expanded and, thereafter, some of the bridges, in particular,sacrificial bridges, are removed. |
