Abstract

A method according to one embodiment for maintaining patency of an opening inside the human body comprises introducing a radially self-expanding hollow stent into the opening through an endoscope that radially compresses the stent, wherein the stent has enlarged ends and a reduced intermediate portion. The stent is introduced into the opening such that its intermediate portion extends through the opening and the enlarged ends are positioned outside of the opening. Once deployed, the stent expands such that the enlarged ends of the stent abut against opposing faces of the opening to resist dislodgement of the stent from the opening after expansion. The stent is preferably biodegradable, such that it is eliminated from the surgical site over a period of weeks to months, by which time the patency of the opening is more assured. The method can be used in combination with, for example, an endoscopie surgical method such as endoscopie third ventriculostomy for treating hydrocephalus of a brain.
