An implantable tubular device is formed as a substantially tubular body and has a deformable portion formed on a peripheral surface thereof, with the deformable portion forming a predetermined angle with respect to an axial direction of the implantable tubular device. The implantable tubular device includes a plurality of wavy annular members each formed of a wavy element and arranged in an axial direction of the implantable tubular device; and connection portions each connecting the wavy annular members to each other in the axial direction of the implantable tubular device. Each of the wavy annular members has a deformable portion 11 formed on a bent portion thereof not connected to the other wavy annular members in such a way that the deformable portion crosses the wavy annular member. |
