Implantation of a Coronary Stent Into the Canaliculus of a Human Cadaver: A Pilot Study

Conclusions:

Canalicular obstructions can often be a source of therapeutic challenges. Our pilot study shows that a drug-eluting coronary stent can be implanted with precision into the canaliculus of a human cadaver. We propose that at least some canalicular obstructions could be treated using a novel rigid mesh tube similar to drug-eluting coronary stents.
