What's the difference between stent and stenting?

Stent


Definition:

  • (obs. p. p.) of Stent
  • (v. t.) To keep within limits; to restrain; to cause to stop, or cease; to stint.
  • (v. i.) To stint; to stop; to cease.
  • (n.) An allotted portion; a stint.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) During placement of the Fletcher suit one of the ureters is catheterized by a special stent which appears on the X-rays control used for dosimetry.
  • (2) In one patient with a B-II stomach, the stent could only be inserted by the percutaneous transhepatic route.
  • (3) There were no cases of stent migration or occlusion due to encrustation of bile.
  • (4) Veryan has developed a stent – a metal mesh tube inserted in an artery – that mimics the natural swirl of the blood flow, which researchers have found improves outcomes for patients with circulation problems.
  • (5) The insertion of stent was succeeded in all 4 cases, and the improvement of clinical symptoms and elevation of ankle pressure index were observed.
  • (6) Nine patients had variably significant ductal changes attributable to pancreatic duct stents.
  • (7) Titanium-nickel alloy composed of 50% by weight of each metal has unique thermal shape-memory properties, with a transition temperature of 20 degrees C. Each stent consists of one wire with a diameter of 0.9 mm.
  • (8) Between June 1988 and July 1991, 464 new device interventions (Palmaz-Schatz stent or Simpson directional atherectomy) were performed in 410 patients.
  • (9) The stent was applied without general anesthesia under mild i.v.
  • (10) Clogging of endoscopic stents necessitates their replacement in many patients with malignant obstructive jaundice and limits their use in benign strictures.
  • (11) The stents were inserted by using a 10-12 Fr catheter.
  • (12) Intravascular stenting has been established as a useful treatment in adults with coronary and peripheral vascular disease.
  • (13) A variety of interventional endovascular instruments have been produced and used in a wide field of pathologies: balloons for proximal clamping, distal embolization by particles, arterial desobstruction by seeking devices, propping of vascular lumen by stenting, in situ infusion of drugs (fibrinolysis), filters, foreign body retrieval systems.
  • (14) In spite of the low complication rate, the advisability of clinical application of stents should always be critically considered before the final decision is made.
  • (15) Additionally, there is promise that stents will enhance the percutaneous treatment of renal artery ostial lesions, infrainguinal arterial lesions, and strictures in large veins.
  • (16) The average period of follow-up is 65 days, the longest 105 days (silicone stents) respectively 306 days (metallic stents).
  • (17) We believe that treatment of tracheal stenosis using dilation with stents is a reasonably good alternative in patients whose general condition makes them poor risks for major tracheal surgery.
  • (18) Treatment by either antegrade placement of ureteral stents or abdominal exploration with deligation or ureteroneocystotomy was successful in all cases.
  • (19) Antibiotic suppression and stent changes should not be used routinely but rather they should be individualized.
  • (20) An expandable metal stent inserted via a long term tracheostomy successfully relieved life threatening respiratory obstruction due to benign tracheal stenosis.
