A stent, in particular a coronary stent, includes a thin-walled, hollow-cylindrical base body of an X-ray transparent material, the surface area of which has an open-worded, net-shaped design owing to recesses. The stent has at least one X-ray opaque element or region, wherein the X-ray opaque element or the X-ray opaque region extends essentially in a linear direction over at least a portion of the circumference of the stent located at least one end region of the stent while the rest of the stent remains X-ray transparent.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A stent comprising a thin-walled, hollow-cylindrical base body of an X-ray transparent material, having a surface area which has an open-worked, net shaped design owing to recesses, and comprising at least one X-ray opaque element or region which extends essentially in a linear direction over at least a portion of the stent circumference located at at least one end region of the stent while the rest of the stent remains X-ray transparent, wherein the at least one end region comprises curved segments of the surface area of the stent and the segments are themselves composed of an X-ray opaque material.
