Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1996
Expandable metallic stents are effective in selected patients with malignant or benign airway stenoses. When used for malignant lesions, the primary purpose of the stent is to improve the quality of life; stents are usually chosen for palliation of symptoms in recognition of the low likelihood of success for other therapy.

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1996
Stents or endoprostheses have evolved since their introduction. Initially used only in the vascular system, the use of stents has expanded to use in the biliary, urinary, and gastrointestinal tracts and in the tracheo-bronchial tree. Current use of stents includes treatment of both benign and malignant conditions, with the greatest impact in the ...

Stents are constructed with predefined radial strength which, on occasion, may be insufficient to support a resistant lesion.We prospectively assessed the need for, and safety of, implanting a second stent within the first, during the index procedure, in a consecutive series of 500 patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by a ...

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 ...

Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 1989
The use of balloon-expandable intravascular stents in atherosclerotic heart disease is currently being investigated as a feasible alternative/adjunct to more traditional methods of therapy, that is, coronary artery bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary angioplasty.

Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2017
AbstractThe most dreaded complication with percutaneous coronary intervention with stents, either bare-metal or drug-eluting stents is stent thrombosis (ST) and it has a significant detrimental effect on the outcome for the patient. The initial attempts at intervention with bare-metal stents had much higher rates of ST compared with what is currently ...

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2008
Carotid angioplasty and stenting is potentially an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in carotid stenosis, but it remains unclear whether it confers significant advantages over carotid endarterectomy. We reviewed evidence on carotid angioplasty and stenting in carotid stenosis.Carotid angioplasty and stenting is neither safer nor associated with ...

Use of stents in the pancreas has been confined and limited to referral centers that specialize in the treatment of patients with severe pancreatitis and acute relapsing pancreatitis. With therapeutic development in endoscopic treatment of pancreatic diseases and a better understanding of the cause and prevention of ERCP related complications, the use ...

Considerable progress has been made since the initial stents were manufactured. Despite the reported side effects, cumulative evidence suggests beneficial effects in properly selected patients. The technology is still in evolution, and design modifications strive to find the perfect stent.
