Stents

11/01/2015 - "Vascular stenosis is most often the culprit behind hemodialysis vascular access dysfunction, and although percutaneous transluminal angioplasty remains the gold standard treatment for vascular stenosis, over the past decade the use of stents as a treatment option has been on the rise. "
02/01/2011 - "Most complications were eliminated by ERCP with a papilosfincterotomy, a balloon dilatation of stenosis, and a biliary stent implant with repeated stent replacements (45 cases in total- all patients with biliary stenosis). "
01/06/2009 - "In most bifurcations with a significant stenosis in both branches, a provisional strategy of stenting the main branch only is effective, with the need to implant a second stent on the side branch occurring in approximately one third of cases. "
02/01/2008 - "Carotid stent placement in patients with a unilateral stenosis of the carotid artery resulted in significant improvement in cognitive test scores in this highly selected patient group. "
11/01/2005 - "In this series, the Palmaz stent was most effective in achieving long-term patency in benign biliary strictures."

08/01/1996 - "The present study shows that current anticoagulation treatment is inefficient in suppressing platelet activation in patients with coronary stents and, therefore, might not be the best treatment for reducing the incidence of subacute stent thrombosis."
01/01/2015 - "The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) has dramatically reduced restenosis rates compared with bare metal stents, but in-stent thrombosis remains a safety concern, necessitating prolonged dual anti-platelet therapy. "
08/01/2013 - "Although drug-eluting stents have dramatically reduced angiographic restenosis and clinical need for repeat revascularization procedures, some adverse effects, such as late stent thrombosis, have been described. "
11/01/2012 - "Drug-eluting stents have dramatically reduced the risk of restenosis, but concerns of an increased risk of stent thrombosis have provided uncertainty about their use. "
08/01/2012 - "Deployment of drug-eluting stents instead of bare-metal stents has dramatically reduced restenosis rates, but rates of very late stent thrombosis (>1 year postimplantation) have increased. "

10/01/2005 - "Randomized controlled trials of surgery versus covered stents are necessary to define the best treatment for large coronary artery aneurysms."
07/01/2011 - "Part Two: Treatment of type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysms--fenestrated stent-graft repair is now the best option."
10/01/2000 - "Recently available highly flexible balloon expandable coronary stents improved the technique of endovascular aneurysm treatment. "
08/01/2015 - "stent provided excellent trackability and deliverability and is safe and effective for the treatment of wide-necked ACA aneurysms. "
06/01/2015 - "The LVIS Jr stent provided excellent trackability and deliverability and is safe and effective for the treatment of wide-necked MCA aneurysms with tortuous and smaller parent vessels."

02/01/2010 - "Placement of self-expanding stents is highly effective for instant dysphagia relief, enabling adequate oral nutrition during neo-adjuvant therapy, but is limited by a high re-intervention rate."
04/01/2009 - "According to our data self-expanding metal stents are highly effective and safe for improving dysphagia. "
10/01/1998 - "The dysphagia improved dramatically after the stent was removed."
08/01/2000 - "In all patients, marked improvement of dysphagia was achieved with the use of metallic stents. "
03/01/1997 - "In malignant esophageal obstruction, both stents markedly improved dysphagia. "

08/01/2002 - "Since 1995, when the very good results of the stent implantation in patients with acute myocardial infarction were published, there has been a general trend to more stenting also in the Czech Republic. "
01/01/2010 - "Patients with a history of (V)LST had a significantly greater stent burden and a higher number of previous myocardial infarctions than the control patients.There"
04/01/2006 - "The cause of the arrest was acute myocardial infarction which was treated successfully with percutaneous cardiac intervention (PCI) and a stent placement. "
03/03/2011 - "Meta-analysis of randomized trials showed superior efficacy and similar safety of drug-eluting stent over bare-metal stent in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. "
11/01/1999 - "Primary stent implantation is superior to balloon angioplasty in acute myocardial infarction: final results of the primary angioplasty versus stent implantation in acute myocardial infarction (PASTA) trial. "
