Etymology
The word stenting comes from the name of an English dentist, Stent, whose dental putty was used to 'hold' the shape of a mouth. Later doctors used stent for anything that 'holds' a space open, so stenting is the medical act of putting a small tube to 'keep' a blood vessel or passage open.
