A stent with a preferably cylindrical circumferential wall designed as an open, lattice-like, expandable supporting structure with a longitudinal axis, said stent comprising - helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) running around helically in windings about the longitudinal axis with a helical primary form and a meandering secondary form, which forms meander bends (3.1, 3.2) with a direction of curvature alternating in the circumferential direction and also forms sub-webs (4.1, 4.2) connecting the meander bends (3.1, 3.2), and - connection webs bridging the helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) of two adjacent windings with a primary direction of extension parallel to the longitudinal axis, said connection webs being joined at their sub-web-side ends to adjacent sub-webs (4.1) of the respective helix web (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and having a flat, zigzag-like shape with two end branches (9.1, 9.2) and an intermediate central branch, the end branches (9.1, 9.2) each comprise a termination bend, each termination bend forms with the respective sub-web (4.1) in a mouth region right angled corners, wherein the mouth region is part of the sub-web (4.1) where the sub-web (4.1) and the termination bend are joined, characterised in that each of the corners is provided with a recess, and wherein the end branches (9.1, 9.2) each inherently have a deflection bend formed flat in such a way that the radius thereof corresponds to 1 to 15 times the radius of an adjacent meander bend (3.1, 3.2) and the inner face of the deflection bends in the unexpanded state of the stent is arranged adjacently to the outer face of this meander bend (3.1, 3.2) of the secondary form of the helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and wherein each termination bend and the respective deflection bend arranged therebefore of each connection web are curved in opposite directions, wherein the deflection bends are webs in form of a bend, which is oriented in a direction around another structure to avoid contact with another structure. - helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) running around helically in windings about the longitudinal axis with a helical primary form and a meandering secondary form, which forms meander bends (3.1, 3.2) with a direction of curvature alternating in the circumferential direction and also forms sub-webs (4.1, 4.2) connecting the meander bends (3.1, 3.2), and - connection webs bridging the helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) of two adjacent windings with a primary direction of extension parallel to the longitudinal axis, said connection webs being joined at their sub-web-side ends to adjacent sub-webs (4.1) of the respective helix web (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and having a flat, zigzag-like shape with two end branches (9.1, 9.2) and an intermediate central branch, the end branches (9.1, 9.2) each comprise a termination bend, each termination bend forms with the respective sub-web (4.1) in a mouth region right angled corners, wherein the mouth region is part of the sub-web (4.1) where the sub-web (4.1) and the termination bend are joined, characterised in that each of the corners is provided with a recess, and wherein the end branches (9.1, 9.2) each inherently have a deflection bend formed flat in such a way that the radius thereof corresponds to 1 to 15 times the radius of an adjacent meander bend (3.1, 3.2) and the inner face of the deflection bends in the unexpanded state of the stent is arranged adjacently to the outer face of this meander bend (3.1, 3.2) of the secondary form of the helix webs (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) and wherein each termination bend and the respective deflection bend arranged therebefore of each connection web are curved in opposite directions, wherein the deflection bends are webs in form of a bend, which is oriented in a direction around another structure to avoid contact with another structure.
