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 ...

Lumen‐apposing metal stents for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections: When and for whom?
Digestive Endoscopy, 2017Although lumen‐apposing metal stents (LAMS) are increasingly being used for drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFC), their advantage over plastic stents is unclear.

Intravascular stents to prevent occlusion and restenosis after transluminal angioplasty.
New England Journal of Medicine, 1987Occlusion and restenosis are the most common reasons that transluminal balloon angioplasty may fail to provide long-term benefit. An intravascular mechanical support was therefore developed with the aim of preventing restenosis and sudden closure of ...

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 ...

Zinc Exhibits Ideal Physiological Corrosion Behavior for Bioabsorbable Stents
Advances in Materials, 2013Zinc is proposed as an exciting new biomaterial for use in bioabsorbable cardiac stents. Not only is zinc a physiologically relevant metal with behavior that promotes healthy vessels, but it combines the best behaviors of both current bioabsorbable stent

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 ...
