A stent includes a plurality of stent rings and a plurality of connecting members for connecting adjacent stent rings. The stent rings are expandable from an unexpanded state to an expanded state, each stent ring including a plurality of struts. An adjacent pair of connecting members connected to the same stent ring are disposed to be rotation-symmetric with respect to a center of a strut disposed therebetween.
