title: [A study of new retrievable expandable metallic stent].
abstract: The authors improved retrievable expandable metallic stent (REMS), instead of the nylon suture, the REMS was connected with the stainless steel thread. Under fluoroscopy the stainless steel thread of the shrinking body could be observed and was strong enough to retract the placed stent, then the stent could be removed by the stainless steel hook. We placed the REMS in the I.V.C. of canine, and removed them after one week placement, we could not remove them after two weeks placement. This study suggested that the REMS was considered to be useful and safe for clinical application.
