Abstract:
Esophageal stent implantation is the most commonly used clinical treatment for malignant esophageal obstruction.Driven by several biotechnological advances,great progress has been made in the clinical application of esophageal stents in the past few years.Therefore,it is extremely important for interventional physicians to have a thorough understanding of the mechanical properties and material properties of various esophageal stents.More and more clinical evidences indicate that esophageal stents,especially 125I radioactive esophageal stent,possess exceptional targeted drug delivery capabilities,which enables the physicians to formulated an individualized diagnosis and treatment plan that is more suitable for the patient's situation,so as to significantly improve the therapeutic accuracy.This review aims to systematically introduce the respective advantages of different esophageal stents,to discuss the biggest problems faced in the current clinical work,and to summarize the latest advances in cancer treatment,including the fields of both basic experimental study and clinical research.This review also explicates the design ideas and working principles of various esophageal stents in detail,discusses the development prospect of stent surface modification technology such as covered stents and drug-eluting stents,and makes judgment of the effectiveness and safety of these types of stents in alleviating malignant esophageal obstruction.
