Abstract:
Biodegradable stents have achieved encouraging outcomes in the treatment of benign bile duct stenosis with good biocompatibility,unique biodegradation,and adept physical and mechanical performance.They have a higher biocompatibility than plastic and metal stents and do not require a second surgery for removal.This prevents adverse reactions like restenosis and the tendency to punch and bleed.These biodegradable stents provide a new method of treatment for biliary tract disease,and this review will focus on the animal experiments,clinical application,and future prospects of these stents.
