RESUMEN
Los stents biodegradables son una opción muy atractiva para utilizar en pacientes con estenosis benignas recurrentes/recalcitrantes del tracto digestivo y biliar. En teoría, utilizando estos stents biodegradables, se pueden evitar dilataciones repetitivas de estenosis digestivas o biliares refractarias al manejo convencional, como también se podrían evitar resecciones quirúrgicas, principalmente en pacientes de alto riesgo quirúrgico, y se minimiza el número de procedimientos endoscópicos intervencionistas.
ABSTRACT
Biodegradable stents are a very attractive option for use in patients with benign but recurrent and recalcitrant digestive tract and biliary strictures. In theory, use of these biodegradable stents mitigates the need for repetitive expansion of digestive or biliary strictures which are refractory to conventional management and avoids the need of surgical resection. This is especially true for patients at high surgical risk. Stents can also minimize the number of interventional endoscopic procedures performed on a patient.
