Abstract

Flexible, self-expanding metallic stent were developed using igzag wire bend and segmented polyurethane. Mechanical properties of these stents were tested using INSTRON. These stents were used for palliative treatment of mallignant esophagogastric strictures(3 case) and bawl preparation of collorectal obstruction(10 case). All stents were inserted with fluoroscopic guidance without techinal failures. According to the results, these stents are easy to insert, safe, and very effective for dilation of strictures in curved GI tract.
