Partially covered self-expandable esophageal stents have been associated with unacceptable complications when used for benign esophageal disorders. With the introduction of removable or potentially removable fully covered stents and biodegradable stents, interest in using expandable stents for benign indications has been revived. Although expandable stents can offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, they can be associated with serious complications; hence, this approach should be considered in carefully selected patients, preferably on a protocol basis.
部分覆盖的自膨式食管支架用于良性食管疾病时会出现难以接受的并发症。随着可移除或潜在可移除的全覆膜支架以及可生物降解支架的引入，人们对将可扩张支架用于良性适应症的兴趣得以恢复。尽管可扩张支架可为手术提供一种微创替代方案，但它们可能会伴有严重并发症；因此，应在仔细挑选的患者中考虑采用这种方法，最好是在遵循方案的基础上进行。
