Abstract: In some examples, a medical system including a stent configured to be positioned within a ureter of a patient. The stent includes one or more distal petals and/or one or more proximal petals resiliently biased to deploy radially outwards from a stent body. The stent may be configured to position the distal petals in a kidney of a patient and position the proximal petals in a bladder of the patient. The distal petals and/or proximal petals may be configured to resist a migration of the stent within the ureter. The stent may include suture configured to cause the distal petals and/or proximal petals to substantially to collapse for withdrawal of the stent. The medical system may include a sheath to retain the distal petals and/or proximal petals in a collapsed condition during, for example, implantation in the patient.
