<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stent with relatively intricate and/or delicate designs, and a fabrication method thereof. <P>SOLUTION: This stent has an originally flat pattern and connection points where the sides of the flat pattern are joined. The method includes the steps of (a) cutting a stent pattern into a flat piece of metal thereby to produce a metal pattern, (b) deforming the metal pattern so as to cause two opposing sides to meet, and (c) joining the two opposing sides at least at one point to form the stent having the above patterns. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
