The inventive technology has given the patients to get the treatment through the use of metal stents and plastic stents. With these stents, the placement of stents is improved manifold and the doctor can visually see them. The place where it is placed will be maintained for a long time through radical forces and the tissue growth is reduced. Stents can be partially covered, fully covered, or uncovered.

On the patient skin, the radiopaque is placed which helps to reveal the distal and proximal end of the stricture. This way the stent positioning is done correctly under fluoroscopy.

Upper/Cervical Esophageal Strictures

On the esophagus proximal the upper esophageal stricture of 3 to 4 cm is made. Through this approach, the stent is placed carefully.
