> The problem is that patients aren't told they're guinea pigs

Here's the thing. Every patient is a guinea pig in one way or another. Every medication has side-effects both known and unknown.

But yeah, maybe stents need to be replaced before 3 years or some better materials need to be found, and maybe they are used in situation where they're not really needed.

Still better than bypass surgery which is a very invasive surgery.
