Basic Knowledge about Metal Stent Development

چکیده
Biliary self-expandable metal stents (SEMS), a group of non-vascular stents, have been used in the palliative management of biliary obstruction around the world. However, there are still unmet needs in the clinical application of biliary SEMS. Comprehensive understanding of the SEMS is required to resolve the drawbacks and difficulties of metal stent development. The basic structure of SEMS, including the materials and knitting methods of metal wires, covering materials, and radiopaque markers, are discussed in this review. What we know about the physical and mechanical properties of the SEMS is very important. With an understanding of the basic knowledge of metal stents, hurdles such as stent occlusion, migration, and kinking can be overcome to develop more ideal SEMS.

Subclavian artery-esophageal fistula after placement of a self-expanding metal stent in a patient with esophagogastric anastomosis stenosis
Background: There have been reports on stent-related vascular erosions about patients with benign or malignant stenosis of the esophagus who received endoscopic stent insertion for palliative intention for oral intake. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman with esophageal cancer located in the middle part of esophagus was treated with esophagectomy. Two years following the surgery, malignan...
متن کاملAn unusual case of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction following a late bare-metal stent fracture in a native coronary artery: a case report
INTRODUCTION A bare-metal stent fracture as a cause of acute coronary thrombosis and consequently of acute coronary syndrome is a rare clinical event that, to the best of our knowledge, has previously not been reported. A stent fracture is a rare complication arising from percutaneous coronary intervention. CASE PRESENTATION We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first documented case ...
متن کاملFabrication of Spiral Stent with Superelastic/ Shape Memory Nitinol Alloy for Femoral Vessel
Stent is a metal mesh tube for opening the obstructed vessels of the body. Ni-Ti alloy is a suitable metal for fabrication of stent due to its potential for applying the appropriate stress and strain to the vessel walls. In this study, super-elastic Nitinol wire was used to build stent samples usable to open femoral vessel. Ageing was performed at 500°C for different periods of time to determin...

Background and Purpose:Coronary artery Stenting is known to improve the outcome for ischemic heart disease. Many clinical studies have been performed to determine the long-term outcome of coronary Stenting and most of them were based on first-generation bare-metal Stents. The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term (24 6.4 month) results of second-generation bare metal stent. Materials an...
متن کاملMechanisms of Biliary Plastic Stent Occlusion and Efforts at Prevention
Biliary stenting via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has greatly improved the quality of patient care over the last 30 years. Plastic stent occlusion limits the life span of such stents. Attempts to improve plastic stent patency duration have mostly failed. Metal stents (self-expandable metal stents [SEMSs]) have therefore replaced plastic stents, especially for malignant biliary...
