A stent is either a tube with laser cut openings, or an expandable wire device which is placed in a natural body channel to prevent flow constriction within the channel. The most common area for stent placement is the coronary arteries, although a stent may also be placed in other areas such as bile ducts, veins, ureters, colon, esophagus, bronchi, urethra, and peripheral arteries. Fortunately, the procedure for stent placement is fairly non-invasive, as it is not uncommon for a stent to become blocked and need replacement. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of having had a stent?
