Claim 14:
15. A medical system including a stent, the stent comprising: a stent body defining a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the stent body is configured to be positioned in a ureter of a patient when the distal end positions substantially in a kidney of a patient and the proximal end positions substantially in a bladder of the patient, and wherein the stent body defines a proximal opening at the proximal end, a distal opening at the distal end, and a lumen extending from the proximal opening to the distal opening; at least one distal petal attached to a distal portion of the stent body, wherein the at least one distal petal is resiliently biased to cause a free end of the at least one distal petal to displace away from an exterior surface of the stent body, and wherein the at least one distal petal is configured to position substantially in the kidney when the distal end positions substantially in the kidney, and wherein the at least one distal petal is configured to cause the free end of the at least one distal petal to displace toward the exterior surface when a suture exerts a first proximal force on the free end of the at least one distal petal; and at least one proximal petal attached to a proximal portion of the stent body, wherein the at least one proximal petal is resiliently biased to cause a free end of the at least one proximal petal to displace away from the exterior surface of the stent body, and wherein the at least one proximal petal is configured to position substantially in the bladder when the proximal end positions substantially in the bladder, and wherein the at least one proximal petal is configured to cause the free end of the at least one proximal petal to displace toward the exterior surface when the suture exerts a second proximal force on the free end of the at least one proximal petal.
