Circular tube-shaped PLGA stents with X-ray opacity were subsequently used in common bile duct exploration (CBDE) and primary suturing in canine models. Next, X-ray images of CBD stents in vivo were compared and levels of serum liver enzymes and a histological analysis were conducted after ...
The meaning of STENT is a short narrow metal or plastic tube often in the form of a mesh that is inserted into the lumen of an anatomical vessel (such as an artery or a bile duct) especially to keep a previously blocked passageway open.
Bile duct tumorsRetrospective analysis of our results with metallic stent placement for malignant biliary strictures. We sought to determine parameters that influence stent patency.A total of 95 Wallstents were implanted in 65 patients (38 men, 27 women; mean age, 65.1 years) with malignant ...
Bile duct injuryLaparoscopic cholecystectomyEmergency management of BDIThis study reviews bile duct injuries (BDI) most commonly found in our setup and a novel technique of endobiliary stent usage for management in emergency situations leading to significantly less morbidity and mortality. A total of ...

Obstructive jaundice caused by a malignancy in the common bile duct can be treated effectively with plastic or metal stent placement. However, a prognostic score needs to be developed that guides a treatment decision towards using either of these stents. Finally, colonic stents are applied ...
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of plastic stents in the management of difficult cases of common bile duct(CBD) stones. Methods Fifty eight patients with difficulty in CBD stone extraction under ERCP were included in this study (41 patients had large CBD stones and 10 patients with narrowing ...
Narrowing or blockage of a bile duct can lead to the dangerous leakage of bile into the body's organs and bloodstream. Bile is a necessary fluid produced by the liver that assists in the body's digestive process.Bile ductsare the series of thin, connected tubes that transport bile from th...
BACKGROUND: A variety of stent designs has been studied for endoscopic stenting of the bile duct in patients with malignant biliary obstruction. Although metal stents are associated with longer patency, their costs are significantly higher than plastic stents. AIMS: To compare clinical outcome and co...
