It is "Stents" and not stets. Stents are small, metallic, porous cylindrical structures that are placed within a blood vessel to prevent re-narrowing of the blood vessel due to chloesterol deposition. Usually these stents are placed after a "ballon angioplasty", a medical surgery to clean the deposited cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels (coronary arteries), to prevent re-narrowing or furhter deposition of chlolesterol that may block the coronary arteries and may lead to Angina or heart attack. In some cases these stents may also be coated with drugs such stents are called as drug eluting stents.
