Abstract

Intraluminal metal stents were initially designed to prevent relapse of balloon-dilated arterious or venous obstructions. DOTTER first introduced the concept of an endovascular “splint” in 1964 and subsequently, in 1969, he published a new technique of transluminally placed coilspring tube grafts in canine arteries. However, due to technical limitations this idea was not further developed until 1982, when MAASS et al. started to experiment with a self- expanding “double helix” spiral prosthesis. Between 1983 and 1987, DOTTER et al. (1983), CRAGG et al. (1983), GIANTURCO (1985), PALMAZ et al. (1985), WALLSTEN (1987), STRECKER et al. (1987), and RABKIN et al. (1991) independently developed metal stents for endovascular use. However, CARRASCO et al. were the first to use intraluminal metal stents as biliary endoprostheses, in an animal model in 1985.
