Technical Feasibility and Histological Analysis of Balloon-Expandable Metallic Stent Placement in a Porcine Eustachian Tube

There is a clinical need to develop a stent to treat obstructive and refractory Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) after balloon Eustachian tuboplasty. An animal model for stent placement in the Eustachian tube (ET) is needed to develop optimal designs and materials, as stents for ETD have not been c...
