  • The Biliary & Pancreatic Stent are placed in conjunction with an endoscope, a guide wire, a pusher and, when necessary, a guiding catheter
  • To facilitate the application, an endoscopic sphincterotomy prior to guide wire placement is recommended. (Please observe HF-generator and sphincterotome manufacturer’s instructions).
  • It is recommended NOT to remove the stent by inflating a ballon inside the stent.
  • The patient and the stent should be regularly followed-up to remove the stent immediately in case of clog, migration or fallout from the papilla.
