“…Dotter and Judkins [2] while exploring balloon angioplasty in the 1960s introduced the concept of stents. Later that decade, Dotter [3] implanted a spiral, coil-spring prosthesis to expand experimental vascular stenotic lesions. The stent concept remained dormant until early 1980s when self-expanding double helical spiral stents were implanted in animal models [4].…”

To address elastic recoil of vessel wall and intimal dissection that can follow balloon angioplasty, stents have been designed and these appear to produce more effective relief of obstruction. Of the two types of stents, namely, balloon expandable and self expandable, balloon expandable stents are most commonly used in children. The usefulness of stents in the management of vascular obstructive lesions not amenable to balloon angioplasty is well established and has been successfully used to treat branch pulmonary artery stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, stenotic right ventricular outflow tract conduits, obstructive lesions of the systemic and pulmonary veins and others. The techniques of implantation, indications, immediate and follow-up results and complications were reviewed. The stents have also been effectively used in keeping open naturally occurring or artificially created inter-circulatory connections and as adjuncts in hybrid procedures, but these have not been discussed in this review. Future directions include investigative work on biodegradable stents and growth stents to address issues related to increase in vessel size in infants and children, use of drug eluding stents to prevent neo-intimal proliferation to avoid pulmonary vein restenosis and refinement of stent technology in hybrid procedures such as neonatal palliation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and transcatheter completion of Fontan procedure. The feasibility, safety and effectiveness stents in the pediatric population are demonstrated, although scrutiny of results of larger experience with longer follow-up is important.

“…Interestingly, when the above issues are known and anticipated, a dedicated protocol for BVS implantation seems to be efficient in reducing the risk of thrombosis (7). Ultimately, and according to evidence gathered in the late 1960s by Charles Dotter, it is no surprise that contrary to the initial belief, BVS are not devoid of device thrombosis (22).…”

“…The word stent was used in 1964 by Boucher Dotter (1920Dotter ( -1985, in 1969, described a coil-spring endarterial tube graft placed in the popliteal artery of a dog that intravascular stenting came into widespread use. 6 This technique was later described in Europe by Maass and colleagues, who called it "spiral prostheses" and "self-expanding adjustable prostheses." 13 The word stent was used by Dotter and colleagues 7 in 1983 when they described a method involving percutaneous catheter placement of nitinol coil stents for restoring the patency of blood vessels and biliary tract.…”

Stents have come to be well-known devices and are being used widely in numerous branches of medicine. It is intriguing that the word “stent” actually derives from the name of a dentist, Charles Stent, who developed a material to obtain dental impressions. There are numerous other theories as to the origin of the word and how its use has been extended to various fields in medicine. The origin of intravascular stenting took place as early as 1912, but it was not until Charles Dotter reinvented the wheel in 1969 that further development took place in the technology and techniques of stenting. Intracranial stenting is a relatively new and rapidly developing field that came into being not more than 12 years ago. The authors describe the life and works of Charles Stent, discuss the possible origins of the word stent, and discuss how intravascular and intracranial stenting came into existence.
