Stenting for in-stent restenosis
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2000Intravascular ultrasound studies have shown that additional stent implantation is the only percutaneous technique that allows for recovery of all the lumen area of the original implantation procedure. Despite this theoretical advantage, information on systematic additional stent implantation is still forthcoming, especially concerning the impact of new

To Stent or Not To Stent, That Is the Question
European Urology Focus, 2018With the increasing complexity of donor organs, recipients, training, and departmental standardisation, routine ureteric stent placement should be advocated. Transplant centres should consider utilising novel technologies for transplant stent removal for a simpler, cheaper procedure that can be performed in any outpatient department.

Stents and Drug-Eluting Stents [PDF]
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2009 Synechiae and ostial stenosis are common and troublesome complications following endoscopic sinus surgery. Many investigators have advocated the use of stents to minimize the risk of postoperative stenosis while others have found their use to be of no benefit. This article reviews the advantages and disadvantages of various stents used in sinus surgery,

Stents are typically placed to prevent or relieve ureteral obstruction caused by intrinsic or extrinsic etiologies. Stent design and biomaterials have improved in recent years from the first described double-J stent in 1978. The indications for placement of a ureteral stent include obstructing ureteral calculi, ureteral strictures, congenital anomalies

Stent occlusion remains a major problem in biliary stenting, and emergency treatment is required. Various second stents, such as plastic stent (PS), uncovered self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS), and covered SEMS, are selected considering primary inserted stent, causes of stent occlusion, and prognosis of the patients.

To Stent or Not to Stent? That Is Still the Question
Journal of Endourology, 2000Most patients are stented after ureteroscopy for stone extraction. This practice necessitates a second procedure to remove the stent, with its inherent morbidity. The aim of our study was to determine whether routine stenting of the ureter is really necessary after ureteroscopy.This prospective study evaluated 26 men and 18 women admitted for elective ...

To Stent or Not to Stent: The President Bush Stent Controversy
Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2013Politicians, especially US presidents, are involved in the harsh, palatable realities of politics, activities that lead not only to headaches but to heartache as well. Once someone in power presents with cardiovascular disease, its management becomes the subject of debate among the medical community and the media; it boosts heart disease awareness and ...

Stenting the stent: Alternative strategy for treating in‐stent restenosis
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Diagnosis, 1996Several approaches have been taken to relieve restenosis inside a vascular stent. In a patient with a complicated history of coronary artery disease, a restenotic lesion inside a Gianturco-Roubin flex stent was relieved by angioplasty and deployment of three 10 mm Palmaz P-104 "biliary" stents, with urokinase and verapamil used to prevent ...

Ureteral Stenting or No Stenting
2012It has been a popular and accepted surgical tradition to place a ureteral stent after performing ureteroscopy especially when performing lithotripsy for ureteral calculi. The rationale for this surgical custom is based on historical animal models, which demonstrated ureteral obstruction after ureteral dilation as well as anecdotal evidence that ...

Endoscopic aqueductoplasty: stent or not to stent?
Child's Nervous System, 2004The aim of this study is to evaluate if the long-term interventricular communication following aqueductoplasty is determined by the etiology of the aqueductal stenosis (AS).We retrospectively analyzed 27 patients who underwent endoscopic aqueductoplasty or endoscopic interventriculostomy with or without a stent for the treatment of AS or isolated ...
