The Wallstent for Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1999The self-expandable metal Wallstent was introduced in late 1980 for the treatment of malignant biliary strictures. The technique of insertion in distal and hilar bile duct strictures is described in detail. The author presents the reported data and discusses the indications for the stent's use.

The Wallstent for Benign Biliary Obstruction
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 1999Endoscopic stent placement for biliary strictures is well-established. The majority of biliary strictures, particularly benign, are treated with plastic stents. The role of permanent expandable stents in the treatment of benign biliary strictures is still questionable.

Long-Term Follow-Up of Iliac Wallstents
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2004We evaluated the long-term results of the iliac artery stent placement for the treatment of patients with intermittent claudication. From November 1988 to December 1998, 303 legs were treated with metal stents in 259 patients with iliac occlusive arterial disease in a follow-up study approved by the institutional review board.
