Main stent component (400, 1300) for forming a stent, comprising: a single strip having a plurality of helical coils (433, 434, 435) comprising a first lateral band (401, 1301) having corrugations, and a second side band (402, 1302) that has undulations and is connected to the first side band (401, 1301), forming a single row (430) of cells; characterized by a first end band (406, 1306) having corrugations, a first edge (450, 1350) and a second edge (451, 1351), said first end band (406, 1306) being connected to said first band (401, 1301) laterally and extending at an oblique angle with respect to said first lateral band (401, 1301); not being connected each helical winding of the strip to a longitudinally adjacent helical winding, forming open spaces (431, 432) between adjacent windings, where the first lateral band (401, 1301) presents a tapered section towards the second band (402, 1302) lateral, and wherein the second lateral band (402, 1302) has a tapered section towards the first lateral band (401, 1301). |
