    Pat ent ansprüche
    1. In einer Längsrichtung flexibler Stent, umfassend eine Mehrzahl zylindrisch geformter Elemente, welche unabhängig voneinander in der Radialrichtung aufweitbar sind und welche derart miteinander verbunden sind, daß sie im allgemeinen auf einer gemeinsamen Achse ausgerichtet sind.
    2. Stent nach Anspruch 1, worin die zylindrisch geformten Elemente dazu ausgebildet sind, nach einer Aufweitung derselben ihren aufgeweiteten Zustand beizubehalten.
    3. Stent nach Anspruch 1 oder Anspruch 2, worin die radial aufweitbaren zylindrischen Elemente in einem nicht aufgeweiteten Zustand eine Länge aufweisen, die geringer ist als ihr Durchmesser.
    4. Stent nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, worin jedes radial aufweitbare zylindrische Element aus einem Strukturelement mit Querabmessungen mit einem Aspektverhältnis von weniger als zwei zu eins gebildet ist, wobei das Strukturelement in einem gewellten Muster ausgebildet ist und um die Längsachse des Stents herum angeordnet ist.
    5. Stent nach Anspruch 4, worin das Strukturelement aus
    einem biokompatiblen Material gebildet ist, das aus einer Gruppe ausgewählt ist, die umfaßt: rostfreien Stahl, Wolfram, Tantal, superelastische NiTi-Legierungen und thermoplastische Polymere.
    6. Stent nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, worin die zylindrisch geformten Elemente an einem Ende derselben mit verbindenden Elementen ausgebildet sind, die mit verbindenden Elementen am entgegengesetzten Ende der zylindrischen Elemente in axialer Ausrichtung sind.
    7. Stent nach Anspruch 6, worin jedes verbindende Element an einem Ende eines ,zylindrischen Elements in Umfangsrichtung bezüglich eines verbindenden Elements an dem entgegengesetzten Ende des zylindrischen Elements versetzt ist.
    8. Stent nach Anspruch 6 oder Anspruch 7, worin der Umfangsversatz der verbindenden Elemente die gleiche Größe aufweist .
    9. Stent nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, worin bis zu vier verbindende Elemente zwischen benachbarten radial aufweitbaren zylindrischen Elementen angeordnet sind.
