Abstract:
A stent having a tubular framework structure consisting of interconnected stent struts, fabricated as a whole from a bioresorbable material and being convertible from a compressed first geometric shape into a radially dilated, dimensionally stable, tubular second geometric shape.Characterized by all of the stent struts of the tubular framework structure has made of a uniform bioresorbable material, the tubular framework structure comprises at least one surface region, which is congruent in one piece and is situated on a lateral cylindrical surface the surface, region comprising stent struts surrounded by stent struts of the framework structure that are adjacent to the surface region, such that the stent struts within the surface region have a smaller amount by weight of bioresorbable material per one predefinable discrete strut length, than the stent struts of the framework structure adjacent to the surface regions.
