From what I understand, stents have defined, finite lives, and if you get
one in your late forties or fifties, the likelihood of needing a replacement
stent is not all that low.

I'm dealing with amateurs here.  I have 8 stints installed at last
count.  August of 2003 I had one installed, plugged it in TWO WEEKS!  

You don't want to get me going on my open-heart surgeryS.

M/B Content:
My Cardio Doc drives a W-126 gasser that looks identical to mine.  I
keep berating him, I think my Doctor should drive a better car than I
do.

Did you put them in your fuel system?  Do you use algaecide?
