Clinical Trials
The purpose of this study is to determine optimal treatment strategies for symptomatic walled-off pancreatic necrosis( WON).
This is a multi-center, single-blinded, randomized trial comparing AXIOS FCSEMS (Fully Covered Self Expanding Metal Stent) and plastic stents for EUS (Endoscopic Ultrasound)-guided managem...
The present study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of the AXIOS™ stent versus the "conventional" approach using double pigtail plastic stents in the treatment...
The Efficacy of Plastic Stent Anchoring to Reduce Migration of Metal Stent
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the group with an additional plastic stent to anchor the fully covered self expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) in patients with malignant biliary ...
Walled of necrosis (WON) is severe local complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome(DPDS) is commonly seen (50-60%) after necrotizing pancreatiti...

Timing of Endoscopic Necrosectomy Following Transmural Stent Placement for Pancreatic Necrosis.
Pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON) may require adjunctive direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) following transmural stent placement. DEN is performed immediately or delayed in relation to index endo...
This work aims to investigate the effects of plaque eccentricity and composition on the stent performance and stress distributions of plaque and artery during stenting by the finite element method. Th...
Limb stent occlusion from intraoperative Nellix stent migration and prolapse.
Incidence of Nellix stent migration is uncommon despite absence of a proximal fixation mechanism. We present a case of intraoperative Nellix stent migration to highlight the potential complications. O...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Neointima
The new and thickened layer of scar tissue that forms on a PROSTHESIS, or as a result of vessel injury especially following ANGIOPLASTY or stent placement.
Ostomy
Surgical construction of an artificial opening (stoma) for external fistulization of a duct or vessel by insertion of a tube with or without a supportive stent.
Endoleak
Postoperative hemorrhage from an endovascular AORTIC ANEURYSM repaired with endoluminal placement of stent grafts (BLOOD VESSEL PROSTHESIS IMPLANTATION). It is associated with pressurization, expansion, and eventual rupture of the aneurysm.
Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus
The type species of AQUABIRNAVIRUS, causing infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish and other freshwater and marine animals including mollusks.
Casts, Surgical
Dressings made of fiberglass, plastic, or bandage impregnated with plaster of paris used for immobilization of various parts of the body in cases of fractures, dislocations, and infected wounds. In comparison with plaster casts, casts made of fiberglass or plastic are lightweight, radiolucent, able to withstand moisture, and less rigid.
