Abstract
Disclosed is a covered stent (100), including a hollow tubular main body (10), and a window (20) provided on a side wall of the tubular main body (10). An elastic supporting member (30) is provided at a periphery of the window (20); an imaging member (40) is provided on the elastic supporting member (30); and at least part of the imaging member (40) is movably connected to the elastic supporting member (30). Since the imaging member (40) and the elastic supporting member (30) are located at the periphery of the window (20), the imaging member (40) and the elastic supporting member (30) enable the periphery of the window (20) to simultaneously have a good imaging performance and a good supporting performance.
