A newly designed plastic stent for multiple occluded metallic stents deployed in malignant hilar biliary strictures.
deployment of multiple metallic stents in malignant hilar biliary strictures have been addressed in several articles [1–5]. However, once metallic stents are occluded, multiple deployment of plastic stents through the previously deployed metallic stents is sometimes difficult. We have designed a new plastic stent for dealing with multiple metallic stent occlusion, and report a successful case u...
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 کاملA corrosion model for bioabsorbable metallic stents.
In this study a numerical model is developed to predict the effects of corrosion on the mechanical integrity of bioabsorbable metallic stents. To calibrate the model, the effects of corrosion on the integrity of biodegradable metallic foils are assessed experimentally. In addition, the effects of mechanical loading on the corrosion behaviour of the foil samples are determined. A phenomenologica...
متن کاملUse of metallic stents in relapsing polychondritis.
Relapsing polychondritis is a rare multisystem disease. We describe the presentation and treatment of a patient with relapsing polychondritis and review the literature. This patient had involvement of the tracheobronchial tree requiring insertion of metallic stents.
متن کاملEndoscopic removal of metallic airway stents.
BACKGROUND Complications of metallic airway stents include granulation tissue formation, fracture of struts, migration, and mucous plugging. When these complications result in airway injury or obstruction, it may become necessary to remove the stent. There have been few reports detailing techniques and complications associated with endoscopic removal of metallic airway stents. We report our exp...
