<p>A tube-forming element (4) constituting a vascular stent which is to be implanted in a vessel of a living body and comprises a hollow tube. The element (4) comprises a strand (3) made of a biodegradable polymer. The strand has been folded so that a linear part (3a) alternates with a bent part (3b), and end parts (3c) and (3d) of the strand have been coaxially spliced to form a ring. In the strand (3) constituting the tube-forming element (4), both end parts (3c) and (3d) have been coaxially spliced while being held with a cylindrical connecting member (5) made of a biodegradable polymer.</p> |
