How do you say stent in Spanish? It's a medical term?

Answer 1

The Spanish word for "stent" is "Stent."

No, really:

"Stent" is a medical term, and it comes from another medical term, "stenosis," which means a narrowing, because it is a tube placed into a narrowed artery, usually a coronary (or heart) artery, to hold it open.

"Coronary" is from the Latin "corona," meaning "crown," because the coronary arteries sit on top of the heart and encircle its top like a crown.

Languages borrow words form each other all the time. English has borrowed from just about everybody. The German word for "interesting" is lifted directly form the French word "interessant," and it's pronounced like a French word, and we have words like "slug," "gob," and "tantrum," that we borrowed form the Irish.

In fact, we didn't have the word "corral" in English until soldiers came back from the Mexican War in the 1840s. We got it from Spanish.

I remember watching a baseball game in Japan, and when a batter sailed one over the wall the announcer would yell, "Home-a-runnu!"

So to find that the Spanish word for "stent" is "stent" is one of those very common occurances in languages.

HAAHA... The Spanish or English word is the same... stent. The procedure whereby a stent is inserted into an artery, by the way, is very interesting. If you have a family member who has, or will, go thru the procedure, tell them not to worry too much. It is relatively painless and takes about 15-20 minutes. You are awake while the doctors snake a wire with a balloon into the affected artery, blow up the ballon to push the plaque out of the way, and they insert another wire with the stent. Stents, by the way, are coated so that plaque and such do not stick on them, otherwise the artery would become blocked again in a short time. No, I'm not a doctor. I've had three stents inserted into 2 arteries, thereby saving my life. Thanks to a changed lifesytle (eating healtherier, more exercise, etc.) I can look forward to many years of irritating others!!

I know this is an old question but just in case an update is needed. Another way I've seen this word translated is as "cánula intraluminal". Here is the link from the University of Maryland.
