Feb 4th, 2023 - BACKGROUND : Fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are widely used for endoscopic treatment of distal malignant biliary obstruction (dMBO). We aimed to assess the efficacy of anchoring an external plastic stent to an FCSEMS in dMBO....

Feb 2nd, 2023 - Optimal endovascular management of intermittent claudication (IC) remains disputed. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares efficacy and safety outcomes for balloon angioplasty (BA), bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-coated balloons (DCB), d...

Jan 28th, 2023 - Double J ureteric stents (DJs) are useful aids for urinary drainage in case of stones or tumour causing ureteric obstruction. Prolonged dwelling time such as when forgotten can lead to encrustation. Our aim was to perform a literature review to ev...

Jan 21st, 2023 - Uncovered struts are a determinant of stent failure. The impact of plaque composition and procedural factors on the occurrence, evolution, and outcomes of uncovered struts in a high-risk setting has not been investigated. To investigate the determ...

Jan 19th, 2023 - The elevated risk of adverse events following percutaneous coronary intervention in diabetic patients persists with newer-generation DES. The polymer-free amphilimus-eluting stent (PF-AES) possesses characteristics with a potentially enhanced perf...

Jul 28th, 2021 - Lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs) are a novel class of devices that have expanded the spectrum of endoscopic GI interventions. LAMSs with their dumbbell configuration, short saddle length, and large inner luminal diameter provide favorable stent...

Nov 11th, 2020 - This American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the endoscopic management of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). We applied the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evalua...

Nov 4th, 2021 - Updated November 4, 2021, 8:40 PM // Editor's Note: This story has been updated with additional commentary from various experts. Coronary stenting guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) readings, considered to reflect the targeted lesion's functi...

Jun 4th, 2021 - It was back to the drawing board for bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS), to some degree, after the initially promising ABSORB series of trials dampened any enthusiasm for the coronary stent-like devices designed to dissolve over time. A second...

Dec 8th, 2020 - NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Covered and uncovered self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction show only minor differences, suggests a randomized trial in Japan. U.S. experts agree, noting that covered stents are no...

Nov 24th, 2020 - A novel stent designed to target early wound healing met the primary noninferiority end point at 1 year in the PIONEER III trial, but differentiating itself from current high-performing durable-polymer drug-eluting stents (DES) will require more. ...

Oct 21st, 2020 - The sirolimus-eluting Slender IDS coronary stent (Svelt Medical Systems), exquisitely skinny to simplify crossing lesions without predilatation, came up short in a randomized noninferiority trial against familiar Xience (Abbott Vascular) and Promu...
