**7. Conclusion**

This chapter described evaluating mechanical properties of a stent and designing/selecting a stent suitable for diverse clinical manifestation by efficiently using the evaluated results. By rounding up the results described above, it can be confirmed that two objectives, which are establishments of designing/selecting a stent suitable for diverse clinical manifestation, were achieved. The stent, which is designed by using the method described in this chapter, has nonuniform shapes along its axial direction. This shape is radically new compared to the conventional stent shape that is uniform along its axial direction. Thus, the stent shape designed by using the method is considered to be a new-generation type.
