A stent includes a stent body (1) having a circumference, a diameter of betweenapproximately 4 mm and approximately 12 mm, in particular, 8 mm, and a length ofbetween approximately 10 mm and approximately 250 mm, in. particular, 150 mm,and struts disposed helically about the circumference in turns (4). Substantiallycircumferentially oriented connecting bridges (8) connect respectively adjacentones of the turns. A method for manufacturing a helical stent includes the stepsof providing a stent body with struts disposed about the circumference thereofin turns and with bridges connecting the struts in adjacent turns. The stent bodyis expanded and, thereafter, some of the bridges, in particular, sacrificialbridges, are removed. |
