Related Articles Optimal radial force and size for palliation in gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma: a comparative analysis of current stent technology. Surg Endosc. 2017 Dec;31(12):5076-5082 Authors: Mbah N, Philips P, Voor MJ, Martin RCG Abstract BACKGROUND: The optimal use of esophageal stents for malignant and benign esophageal strictures continues to be plagued with variability in pain tolerance, migration rates, and reflux-related symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in radial force exhibited by a variety of esophageal stents with respect to the patient’s esophageal stricture. METHODS: Radial force testing was performed on eight stents manufactured by four different…
