DOI: 10.1007/s12328-018-0903-z
Abstract: Pancreatic fluid collections are common pancreatitis complications that frequently require drainage. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided placement of expandable lumen apposing metallic stents has recently emerged as an effective and less invasive treatment option. It is associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2017.05.028
Abstract: BACKGROUND Although previous observational studies have documented late luminal enlargement and expansive remodeling following implantation of a bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS), no comparison with metallic stents has been conducted in a randomized fashion. OBJECTIVES This study sought… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-56427-6
Abstract: Correct visualization of the vascular lumen is impaired in standard computed tomography (CT) because of blooming artifacts, increase of apparent size, induced by metallic stents and vascular calcifications. Recently, due to the introduction of photon-counting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-60566-6
Abstract: Self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) have been widely used in the treatment of malignant central airway obstruction. However, few reports focus on the treatment of atelectasis and how to estimate the prior probability of success via… read more here.

DOI: 10.25259/ijpc_106_2021
Abstract: Objectives: Management of malignant gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction presents a significant challenge. Most patients are in a profoundly decompensated state due to underlying malignancy and are not ideal candidates for invasive surgical procedures. Self-expandable metallic stents… read more here.
