A urethral stent, originally developed for endovascular use, was implanted into eight patients with urethral strictures after experimental studies in the canine urethra. The stent is woven in the form of a tubular mesh from surgical grade stainless steel wire and is self-expanding when released from its small-diameter delivery catheter. At follow-up 6 months to 1 year postoperatively (mean 8 months) all had a good calibre urethra. Urethroscopy showed complete epithelial covering of the implant at 4-6 months.
一种最初为血管内使用而研发的尿道支架,在犬类尿道进行实验研究后,被植入了8例尿道狭窄患者体内。该支架由外科级不锈钢丝编织成管状网的形式,从其小直径输送导管释放时会自行扩张。术后6个月至1年(平均8个月)的随访显示,所有患者的尿道口径良好。尿道镜检查显示,在4至6个月时植入物表面完全被上皮覆盖。
