Unresectable Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Treatment by Self-Expandable Biliary Endoprostheses
The primary goal in the treatment of malignant obstruction is the relief of jaundice. Although operative biliary bypass is a reliable method of palliation, nonoperative palliation may be desirable in selected patients. We report our experience with forty-eight self expandable metallic biliary endoprostheses (Wallstent) percutaneously placed in 35 patients with irresectable malignant biliary obs...
متن کاملReconstruction Using Expandable Endoprostheses for Skeletally Immature Patients With Sarcoma.
Expandable endoprostheses have become an acceptable modality to address the issue of limb-length inequality in limb-sparing procedures for skeletally immature patients afflicted with lower extremity bone sarcomas. This study retrospectively analyzed postoperative outcomes and complications for 7 patients (8 limbs) who underwent minimally invasive or noninvasive reconstruction during a 12-year p...
متن کاملCoronary stenting with a new, radiopaque, balloon-expandable endoprosthesis in pigs.
BACKGROUND Intracoronary stents may be effective when used as "bail-out" devices for acute complications after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Furthermore, preliminary reports have demonstrated some promising results with stents with regard to the reduction of restenosis. Several stent devices are available for preclinical and clinical evaluation. The use of these stainless-stee...
متن کاملConcomitant use of drug-eluting balloon-expandable and self-expandable stents: an approach to avoid surgical revascularization.
We report a patient in whom a balloon-expandable stent and a self-expandable stent were used for percutaneous revascularization of both coronary arteries as an alternative to surgical management. A 50 year-old male with a history of heavy smoking was referred for coronary angiography. Two weeks earlier, he presented with an acute inferior myocardial infarction that was successfully treated with...
متن کاملBalloon-expandable Metallic Stents for Airway Diseases.
Stent placement is an essential treatment for airway diseases. Although self-expandable metallic stents and silicone stents are commonly applied for the treatment of airway diseases, these stents are unsuitable for the treatment of small airway diseases encountered in pediatric patients and lung transplant recipients with airway complications. Currently, only vascular balloon-expandable metalli...
