  • Title: The ultraflex stents for malignant esophageal obstruction.
    Author: Mokhashi MS, Hawes RH.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 1999 Jul; 9(3):413-22. PubMed ID: 10388856.
    Abstract:
    Ultraflex esophageal stents have contributed to the tremendous success of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) in the treatment of esophageal cancer because they are easy and safe to insert. With an eye to improving clinical outcome, the Ultraflex stent design has been in a state of constant evolution since its introduction. However, as with other SEMS, a high reintervention rate remains a challenging problem.
