Ureteral stent technology: Drug-eluting stents and stent coatings
Ureteral stents are commonly used following urological procedures to maintain ureteral patency. However, alongside the benefits of the device, indwelling stents frequently cause significant patient discomfort (pain, urgency, frequency) and can become encrusted and infected. The importance of these sequelae is that they are not only bothersome to the patient but can lead to significant morbidity...
متن کاملBiodegradable stent
The bare metal stent (BMS) used in the blood vessel caused the restenosis after the operation due to formation and proliferation of neointimal. Recently, as a method to overcome the problems of BMS, drug eluting stent (DES) is developed and being applied to human body which has drug reducing restenosis applied on the metal surface. DES has the advantage of greatly reducing the restenosis after ...
متن کاملBiodegradable double nanocapsule as a novel multifunctional carrier for drug delivery and cell imaging
Highly-efficient delivery of macromolecules into cells for both imaging and therapy (theranostics) remains a challenge for the design of a delivery system. Here, we suggested a novel hybrid protein-lipid polymer nanocapsule as an effective and nontoxic drug delivery and imaging carrier. The biodegradable nanocapsules showed the typical double emulsion features, including fluorescently labeled b...
متن کاملUreteral Surgery – to Stent or to Cut?
Key points Ureteral obstruction secondary to urolithiasis is the most common indication for ureteral surgery in dogs and cats. The number of ureteroliths, the integrity of the ureteral wall, infection, and the presence or absence of concurrent nephrolithiasis, will often dictate the treatment that is performed. Prospective studies comparing traditional surgery to the novel technique of st...
متن کاملA novel drug eluting ureteral stent: a prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a ketorolac loaded ureteral stent.
PURPOSE We evaluated the short-term safety and efficacy of a ketorolac loaded ureteral stent compared to a standard stent (control). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, multicenter, double-blind study patients were randomized 1:1 to ketorolac loaded or control stents after ureteroscopy. The primary end point was an intervention for pain defined as unscheduled physician contact, change ...
