Palliative Care of Malignant Ureteral Obstruction with Polytetrafluoroethylene Membrane-Covered Self-Expandable Metallic Stents: Initial Experience
PURPOSE We assessed the efficacy and safety of insertion of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane-covered self-expandable metallic stent (UVENTA stent) for palliation of malignant ureteral obstruction on the basis of our early results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighteen patients underwent UVENTA stent insertion for extrinsic malignant ureteral obstructions of 20 ureters. The UVENTA stents were deplo...
متن کاملPartially covered self-expandable metallic stents for benign biliary strictures due to chronic pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Benign biliary strictures (BBS) may occur in patients with chronic pancreatitis and may lead to secondary biliary cirrhosis or recurrent cholangitis. Although surgical diversion may provide definitive therapy, it can be associated with significant morbidity. Endoscopic therapy with plastic stents has been used as an alternative to surgery but has resulted in unsatisfac...
متن کاملLong-term results of metallic stents for benign biliary strictures.

Self-expandable metallic stents (MSs) have been useful for inoperable malignant biliary strictures; however, their use for BBS is controversial and their natural history unknown. HYPOTHESIS To test our hypothesis that MSs provide only short-term benefit, we examined the long-term...

متن کاملProspective pilot study of fully covered self-expandable metal stents for refractory benign pancreatic duct strictures: long-term outcomes
Endoscopic placement of a single plastic stent (PS) to the main pancreatic duct (MPD) is awidely accepted treatment method for symptomatic strictures in patients with chronic pancreatitis [1,2]. Although adequate stent placement in the dominant stricture will relieve pain in the majority of patients [3–5], stents cannot be definitively removed in approximately one-third of patients because of p...
