What does STENT mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A small tube, often made of mesh or plastic, that doctors insert into a blood vessel or other passage in the body to hold it open.
A stent is most often used after a narrowed or blocked artery has been widened, holding the vessel open so blood can flow normally again. Surgeons can place a stent without opening the chest, threading it through a blood vessel from a small incision elsewhere in the body. Some versions of a stent are coated with medication that is released slowly to stop the vessel narrowing again. Beyond the heart, a stent can also keep open other passages in the body, such as the tubes of the urinary system.
