Complications of airway self-expandable metallic stent in benign airway diseases
Objectives: To present the complications of Ultraflex Self-Expandable Metallic Stents (SEMSs) applied in patients with benign tracheobronchial diseases. Methods: Eighty patients received 124 SEMSs were retrospectively reviewed in a tertiary hospital. Results: The baseline characteristics of patients received SEMS implantation including age (mean + standard deviation: 62.5 + 14.8 years), gender ...
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...
متن کاملEffects of the Temporary Placement of a Self-Expandable Metallic Stent in Benign Pyloric Stenosis
BACKGROUND/AIMS The use of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) is an established palliative treatment for malignant stenosis in the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, its application to benign stenosis is expected to be beneficial because of the more gradual and sustained dilatation in the stenotic portion. We aimed in this prospective observational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety ...
متن کاملPericarditis: a rare complication of fully covered self-expandable metallic stent in postoperative benign anastomotic stricture.
Benign esophageal strictures are traditionally treated by endoscopic dilation with bougies or balloons [1,2]. Fully covered, self-expandable, metallic stents (SEMS) have been used in the treatment of benign esophageal disease, with the benefits of removability and low incidence of tissue hyperplasia [3]. However, significant complications, such as stent migration, recurrent stricture, or erosio...
متن کاملAn outcome analysis of self-expandable metallic stents in central airway obstruction: a cohort study
BACKGROUND Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) have provided satisfactory management of central airway obstruction. However, the long-term benefits and complications of this management modality in patients with benign and malignant obstructing lesions after SEMS placement are unclear. We performed this cohort study to analyze the outcomes of Ultraflex SEMSs in patients with tracheobronchial...
