Claim 0:
1. 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 is positioned substantially in a kidney of the patient and the proximal end is positioned substantially in a bladder of the patient;
at least one distal petal attached to a distal portion of the stent body, wherein a distal petal of the at least one distal petal is resiliently biased to cause a portion of the distal petal to displace away from an exterior surface of the stent body;
at least one proximal petal attached to a proximal portion of the stent body, wherein a proximal petal of the at least one proximal petal is resiliently biased to cause a portion of the proximal petal to displace away from the exterior surface of the stent body; and
a suture comprising a first distal portion and a second distal portion, wherein the first distal portion is secured to the distal petal and the second distal portion is secured to the proximal petal, wherein the first distal portion extends distal to the second distal portion, and wherein the suture is configured to cause the distal petal or the proximal petal to displace toward the exterior surface of the stent body when a proximal force is exerted on the suture.
