Challenge: Preventing ingrowth of malignant biliary strictures

Choice: Gore® VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis

Treating patients with malignant biliary strictures requires the use of a strong, yet flexible endoprosthesis that can be placed both percutaneously and endoscopically in the biliary tract.

The GORE® VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis offers an improved alternative for treating biliary malignancy. Unlike other stenting options, it features a nonporous ePTFE/FEP liner that provides a strong, durable barrier to tissue ingrowth. The endoprosthesis' flexible nitinol stent has significantly higher radial or "hoop" strength at body temperature than typical metallic biliary stents. An easy-to-use delivery system facilitates device delivery.

Contraindication: This device is contraindicated for all cardiovascular applications.
