Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stent, especially a stent for reinforcing a blood vessel wall.
  • Stents are generally known, and by way of example reference is made to US-A-5628787, US-A-5630840 and EP-A-0873734.
  • Gold-coated stainless steel stent are difficult to make and are relatively expensive. Moreover there might be a problem that the gold layer is not sufficiently adhered to the supporting base material so that locally the coating cracks or flakes off the stent during expansion. Such local removal of the gold coating can result into adverse corrosion effects and free floating of gold particles in the visculature. Moreover the use of two different metals or metal alloys contacting each other may imply galvanic reactions of which long term clinical effects are unknown, but of which it is suspected that they negatively affect restenosis rates.
  • tantalium In another stent use is made of tantalium as constructive material for the stent. This has resulted in a reliable stent, but tantalium has the disadvantage that it is too visible in radiographic imaging, to such an extend that it obstructs the imaging of the result of the implantation of such stent. It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stent avoiding the above mentioned problems.
  • the stent is made of an alloy comprising at least 90 % by weight of niobium.
  • niobium is a metal offering the combination of required characteristics especially with respect to the mechanical and chemical properties and in view of the radiographic imaging.
  • the alloy comprise at least 95 % by weight niobium and more preferably at least 98 %.
  • Niobium can be combined with a number of other metals in order to obtain the required characteristics.
  • the niobium alloy contains further one or more elements selected from the group of Zr, Ti, V, Hf, W, Ta and Mo.
  • the alloy consists of 98,5 - 99,5 % by weight of niobium and 0,1 - 1 ,5 % by weight of zirconium.
