Description
Biodegradable, drug eluting, and shape memory polymers are the next frontier in stent technology. Building on the standard set by the first edition, Stenting the Urinary System, Second Edition explores all types of stents and the the materials used in their construction. The book brings together a multidisciplinary team, all of whom have made a considerable contribution to the development of urinary stents over the years. They provide a well-researched text on the implantation of urinary stents and the scientific basis behind each of them. The new edition highlights the use of stents in renal arteries and pelvic veins, showing the possibilities of using them not only in the urinary tract but also in the vascular system related to the urinary tract.
