In our environment we have used the monobody 18 mm diameter stent, but there are now new stents with larger diameters available. Stents measuring 18 to 23 mm in their proximal portions are used for cervical leaks, and those with diameters of 21 to 25 mm are used for patients with intrathoracic leakage.
En nuestro medio hemos utilizado las prótesis monocuerpo de 18 mm de dm y se están diseñando de mayor diámetro en su parte proximal 18 a 23 mm para filtraciones a nivel cervical y de 21 a 25 mm para pacientes con fugas intratorácicas.
