Description
Treatment of the cardia is mainly associated with two complications. Firstly, the stent has an increased tendency to migrate at this point. Secondly a stent may protrude far into the stomach and cause pressure necrosis. The Cardia stent by Micro-Tech is a specially designed stent perfectly tailored to this challenging anatomical diagnosis. The unique design gives the Cardia Umbrella stent extremely high positional stability and prevents its migration in both the gastric and oral directions. The special feature here, is the fact that the lower oesophageal sphincter lies between the bulbous section and the distal end of the stent which is shaped like an open umbrella. Furthermore, the stent does not protrude into the stomach as a result of this umbrella design, ending directly behind the oesophageal gastric junction. The risk of pressure necrosis is thus markedly reduced and any potential patient discomfort is decreased.
