  • Title: Partially covered Gianturco stent for tracheobronchial stricture caused by intraluminal tumor.
    Author: Miyayama S, Matsui O, Kamimura R, Kakuta K, Takashima T.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1997; 20(1):60-2. PubMed ID: 8994727.
    Abstract:
    Partially covered Gianturco stents were used successfully in two patients to treat tracheobronchial strictures caused by intraluminal tumor growth. The stents were accurately placed without complications. The covered portion of the stent compressed the tumor, and prevented tumor ingrowth until the patients' deaths. This stent seems to act as effective palliation for tracheobronchial stricture caused by intraluminal tumor.
