Digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth , where short chain lipids are broken down into diglycerides by lingual lipase. Fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver, enabling the breakdown of fats into fatty acids. Comments.
A stent is a tube made of metal mesh, that is inserted into an artery to help keep it open. Heart stents are placed during an angioplasty, and then left in place.There are two kinds of stents. Bare metal stents are the traditional kind, and solely made of metal. With these, there is a chance the artery can become blocked with scar tissue during the healing process.ith the combination of several long arteries, that may be stented along their entire lengths, and the possiblility of putting stents within stents, the amount a person can have is virtually limitless. Having a lot of stents, however, is never be a good thing.
 I had 5 stents put in last year after having a heart attack. This cost about $140,000 without any insurance. I paid about $30,000 and they wrote the rest off. This year I had to have another stent put in with insurance and the total cost was $400. have insurance that requires a co pay of $3,000, and only covers 70% of what's left over from the bill. From the looks of what it costs just for one stent, I can only imagine that my bill will be somewhere in the $60,000 range, meaning that I will end up with a bill I have to pay that is around $18,000.
