Silver Nanofunctionalized Stent after Radiofrequency Ablation Suppresses Tissue Hyperplasia and Bacterial Growth
Intraductal radiofrequency (RF) ablation combined with placement of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) for malignant biliary obstruction has risks such as stent- and heat-induced biliary sludge and restenosis. Here, we investigated the efficacy of a silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-coated SEMS to inhi...
