Bare-metal duodenal stent

Definition

A sterile non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted in the lumen of the duodenum for the palliative treatment of duodenal strictures caused by malignant neoplasms; it is typically used to help eliminate gastric outlet obstructions. It is typically a mesh structure made entirely of metal (e.g., high-grade stainless steel); it is typically expanded in situ (e.g., with a balloon catheter or self-expands) and disposable devices intended to assist implantation may be included.
