Oh, dude, defibrillating is like shocking the heart to get it back on track, and stents are those little tubes they put in your arteries to keep them open. So, using stents to defibrillate would be like trying to fix a flat tire with a hairbrush - technically possible, but definitely not recommended. Stick to the paddles for that one, trust me.
