[0071] In order to prepare a braided stent suitable for human body lumens in various states, the helical angle ? of the braided stent is 10?-50?, which can provide a braided stent with different shrinkage rates; the bending angle ? of the braid wires I and II of the braided stent is 30?-60?, and the difference in the bending angle ? can change the braiding grid density of the braided stent, thereby adjusting the radial support force of the whole braided stent; the bending angle ? is preferably 35?-45?; the helical spacing S of the braid wires I and II from the third braided ring to the N.sup.th braided ring of the braided stent is 0.2-10 mm, which can adapt to the conditions of braided stents with different diameters; The braided stent is composed of a plurality of braid wires, and the above-mentioned braid wires I and II are both one filament, i.e. two filaments can weave the braided stent of the present invention, but the production efficiency of the preparation process will be reduced, and the braiding efficiency can be greatly improved by a plurality of braid wires, wherein the braid wires of a degradable material account for ?-? of the plurality of braid wires, for example, the braided stent is composed of three braid wires according to the above-mentioned braided structure, two are metal alloy wires, and one is a braid wire prepared from a degradable material, or the braided stent is composed of four braid wires, and two are metal alloy wires; two braid wires made of a degradable material, of course, five wires or six wires may constitute a braided stent, and the above-mentioned braid wires of a degradable material may be braided according to the structure of the above-mentioned braid wires; or braiding can be performed after mixing with the metal alloy braid wire; the diameter of the mixed braided metal alloy wire can be reduced without reducing the initial radial supporting force of the braided stent; after entering the human body for a period of time, the degradable braid wire is degraded, which reduces the amount of metal in the lumen of the human body and reduces the rejection reaction of the human body to foreign bodies.
