Metal or plastic stents for preoperative biliary drainage in resectable pancreatic cancer

Gut, 2015
Introduction In pancreatic cancer, preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) increases complications compared with surgery without PBD, demonstrated by a recent randomised controlled trial (RCT). This outcome might be related to the plastic endoprosthesis used.

Three vs twelve months of dual antiplatelet therapy after zotarolimus-eluting stents: the OPTIMIZE randomized trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2013
IMPORTANCE The current recommendation is for at least 12 months of dual antiplatelet therapy after implantation of a drug-eluting stent. However, the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy with specific types of drug-eluting stents remains unknown.

Stents nus, Stents habillés

Bulletin de l'Académie Nationale de Médecine, 2005
By making safe the act and decreasing the restenosis risk, the stent had contributed to the development of coronary artery angioplasty which fill nowadays the whole of clinical and coronarographical field of coronary artery disease. The new stent, coated with substances amenable to minimise the best the restenosis risk, holds the hope of the ...

Direct stenting

European Heart Journal, 2003
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.

Stenting Versus No Stenting

2004
Many one-stage repairs for hypospadias have been developed in the past 25 years. The complication rate has remained stable at approximately 10% despite the use of optical magnification, fine instruments, meti culous haemostasis and broad-spectrum antibiotics (Mitchell and Kulb 1986).

Ureteral Stents: To Stent or Not to Stent, That Is a Great Question! [PDF]

, 2014
Some stones will move from the kidney and lodge within the ureter causing a blockage, referred to as ureteral obstruction. The back up of urine that ensues will cause the kidney to swell, known as hydronephrosis. This hydronephrosis may translate in significant flank pain, which can eventually bring a patient to the ER.

Randomized multicenter study of multiple plastic stents vs. covered self-expandable metallic stent in the treatment of biliary stricture in chronic pancreatitis

Endoscopy, 2015
Background and study aims: The use of covered self-expandable metallic stents (cSEMS) in benign biliary indications is evolving. The aim of the study was to assess the safety and feasibility of cSEMS compared with multiple plastic stents in the treatment

Drug-eluting stents versus bare metal stents for angina or acute coronary syndromes.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015
BACKGROUND Coronary artery stents are tiny tubular devices used to 'scaffold' vessels open during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Restenosis (re-narrowing) of vessels treated with stents is a problem; in order to reduce restenosis,
