CONTRAST-MEDIUM-CONTAINING BIOABSORBABLE STENT AND MEDICAL DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bioabsorbable stent of which the shape, the degree of decomposition, or the placement site can be checked without incising a patient.SOLUTION: The bioabsorbable stent is made of a bioabsorbable material. The bioabsorbable material contains a contrast medium. Since the bioabsorbable stent contains a contrast medium, the stent can be detected, for example, from outside the living body. Thus, with the bioabsorbable stent, it is possible for example, to check the shape, the degree of decomposition, or the placement site of the stent without incising the patient.
