Development of a polymer endovascular prosthesis and its implantation in porcine arteries [PDF]
, 1992 A polyethylene-terephthalate braided mesh stent has been developed for application in the (coronary) arterial tree. In vitro measurements showed that the radial pressure delivered by this device was in the same range as that of a stainless steel stent ...

A retrospective stenting study on superior vena cava syndrome caused by lung cancer
Thoracic Cancer, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 1835-1839, July, 2020., 2020 Background Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a common condition predominantly caused by lung cancer. The presence of symptoms of SVCS, such as elevated intracranial pressure and laryngeal edema, indicates an unfavorable prognosis for lung cancer patients. Superior vena cava (SVC) stenting is the first‐line treatment for SVCS.

Carotid Stenting with the Use of Wallstent [PDF]
Interventional Neuroradiology, 2000 We performed carotid stenting with Wallstent for 22 cases. The mean stenosis was 74.3 ± 11.2% before stenting and 14.2 ± 8.8% after stenting. The technical success (<40% residual stenosis) was 100%. We experienced 2 embolic complications (one TIA and one minor stroke).
