A stent (1) includes a stent body having a circumference and struts disposed helically about the circumference in turns. At least two of the struts have respective strut ends. At least two paddle-shaped markers (12) extend away from a respective one of the strut ends. The markers have respective marker extreme ends and different overall longitudinal length substantially aligning the marker extreme ends approximately along a single circumference of the stent body. A method for manufacturing a helical stent includes the steps of providing a stent body with struts disposed about the circumference thereof in turns and with bridges (9) connecting the struts in adjacent turns. The stent body is expanded and, thereafter, some of the bridges, in particular, sacrificial bridges, are removed.

La présente invention concerne une endoprothèse vasculaire (1) comportant un corps d'endoprothèse ayant une circonférence et des bras disposés de manière hélicoïdale autour de la conférence et formant des tours. Au moins deux des bras possèdent des extrémités respectives. Au moins deux marqueurs en forme de spatule (12) s'étendent à partir d'une extrémité respective de ces extrémités de bras. Les marqueurs possèdent des extrémités de marqueurs respectives et des dimensions longitudinales globales différentes permettant l'alignement des extrémités de marqueurs approximativement le long d'une unique circonférence du corps de l'endoprothèse. Un procédé de fabrication d'une endoprothèse vasculaire hélicoïdale comprend les étapes consistant à se doter d'un corps d'endoprothèse doté de bras disposés le long de sa circonférence selon des tours et doté de ponts (9) raccordant les bras de tours adjacents. Le corps de l'endoprothèse est étiré et certains des ponts, notamment des ponts sacrificiels, sont ensuite retirés.
