Abstract:
Endoscopic stent implantation is one of the main methods for the treatment of biliary and pancreatic diseases. At present, the commonly used biliary and pancreatic stents are mainly plastic and metal stents which are still have some deficiencies in clinical applications, and the emergence of the new type of biodegradable polymer materials is expected to achieve the purpose of treatment to overcome these shortcomings. It is a potential hope to break through the bottleneck of endoscopic treatment of choleopancreatic diseases. Previous animal experiments and human clinical studies have preliminarily shown its safety and effectiveness, which can effectively solve some problems of bile and pancreatic duct stenosis and so on. Biodegradable polymer stents have been widely studied, but their clinical application progress is slow and not yet popular, and it has gradually become a research hotspot in recent years . This article discusses the research status and development direction of biodegradable polymer stents in biliary and pancreatic diseases.
