Stented refers to the process of inserting a tiny mesh tube called a stent in a blocked artery or vein to improve blood flow. There are several synonymous words that can be used to describe this process, such as dilated, widened, expanded, opened, unblocked, and cleared. These words all refer to improving the flow of blood by removing or opening blockages in the affected artery. In addition, other synonyms such as treated, repaired, restored, or corrected can also be used to describe a stented artery or vein. Regardless of the terminology used, stenting is an important medical procedure that helps to prevent serious heart and vascular conditions.
