Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide thread for a vascular stent having excellent dynamic characteristics and capable of surely supporting a vessel having large contraction force from the inside.SOLUTION: In a method, thread for a vascular stent is produced by melt spinning resin material composed of poly L-lactic acid having weight average molecular weight of 70,000 to 550,000. The resin material composed of poly L-lactic acid is subjected to first drying treatment in a reduced-pressure atmosphere in a first temperature range of a glass transition point Tg of poly L-lactic acid or more, and then is subjected to second drying treatment in a reduced-pressure atmosphere in a temperature range higher than the first temperature range and a melting point of poly L-lactic acid or less. The resin material subjected to two-stage drying treatment is melt spun, and drawn in a temperature of the glass transition point Tg of poly L-lactic acid or more and the melting point thereof or less, thereby obtaining the thread for a vascular stent. 【課題】 力学的特性に優れ、大きな収縮力を有する脈管をその内部から確実に支持することができる脈管ステント用の糸を提供する。【解決手段】重量平均分子量を70,000〜550,000とするポリL−乳酸からなる樹脂素材を溶融紡糸して脈管ステント用の糸を製造する方法である。ポリL−乳酸からなる樹脂素材は、ポリL−乳酸のガラス転移点Tg以上の第1の温度範囲にある減圧雰囲気中で第1の乾燥処理が施され、次いで、ポリL−乳酸の融点以下であって第1の温度範囲より高温の温度範囲にある減圧雰囲気中で第2の乾燥処理が施される。2段階の乾燥処理が施された樹脂素材は、溶融紡糸され、次いで、ポリL−乳酸のガラス転移点Tg以上融点以下の温度で延伸されて脈管ステント用糸とされる。【選択図】図1
