The first line reads: "A stent is a small, lattice-shaped, metal tube that is inserted permanently into an artery." I'm pretty sure the '''rubber''' tube they '''temporarily''' put in my '''ureter''' after I had surgery to break up a kidney stone was also called a stent. So is "stent" a more general term than this article indicates or did the doctors just call it a stent to help me understand? --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 15:59, 1 April 2008 (CDT) | |||
