Re: [TCML] Tesla Coils and Stents

In regard to stents, I should mention that they are not simple coils anyway. 
Don't forget they have to be inflated by the ballon in position. They can be 
a type of mesh or a type of coil where each turn loops back the other way so 
it can be expanded or even laid out flat.

 Subject: [TCML] Tesla Coils and Stents
 Hello List Members,
 I recently had the experience of having a couple stents installed in my
 heart due to blockages. I was wondering if anyone had info on possible
 safety issues around coils when stents are present. The stents are 
stainless
 steel lattice which I would think would be like a small cylinder
 electrically (vs a small coil).

 Any thoughts or actual experience would be appreciated.
