Self-Expanding Stents looks to provide physicians with the necessary and unique all-in-one resource on stents. Dr. Douglas G. Adler covers the use of self-expanding stents. This book will cover the use of all available devices in all clinical contexts, with step-by-step instructions from experts in the field on how to use them and, just as importantly, what not to do when using these devices. Illustrated with more than 150 color photographs, as well as many tables and diagrams.
