Stents have ameliorated the outcome of percutaneous coronary interventions. Improved design, profile and flexibility of the currently available stents now permit to deliver the stent without pre-dilatation. In western European countries, stent implantation now occurs in up to 80% of all percutaneous revascularization procedures.

Acute obstructions of the gastric outlet, the duodenum, or the large bowel require rapid treatment to relieve symptoms of retention or ileus. Large-caliber stents of 16 to 22 mm offer a new non-surgical alternative for treating these patients with minimal risks and high success rates.

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.

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Airway stenting has been well used in the treatment and palliation of patients with malignant stenoses and to a lesser extent in those with benign disease causing airway compromise. Stents are either constructed of silicone or metal, usually a nitinol, a nickel and titanium alloy. The different categories of stents have positive and negative attributes

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
An explosion of technology has occurred in the last 10 years, intended to make treatment of vascular diseases less invasive. Once the exclusive domain of the interventional cardiologist and the coronary circulation, now in 2001 nearly every vascular system has been explored as a site for endovascular treatment of aneurysmal and atherosclerotic disease.

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 ...

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.
