It is intended to provide a stent to be used in a lumen which can uniformly cover an intralumen tissue, relieve troubles (for example, restenosis) in the intralumen tissue upon stent dilation, by easily compressed and fixed to a balloon or the like and safely move forward in the oral cavity of a patient's body, on which a sufficient amount of a drag can be fixed and from which the drug can be uniformly released into the intralumen tissue. Namely, a stent to be used in a lumen characterized in that it can be dilated from a first diameter in the compressed state to a second diameter in the enlarged state and, in the state of the first diameter, struts constituting the stent overlap together in the radius direction at least in one part. |
