Abstract:
Z-stents were originally designed to relieve upper or lower vena cava obstructions. In time, they were adapted to be somewhat flexible, yet keep their position. This article presents information on the technology behind the Z-stent, placement of the Wilson-Cook Z-stent, and future manufacturer developments.
