Cook Medical announced that its Evolution® Duodenal Controlled-Release Stent was recently granted 510(k) clearance by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

This new stent expands palliative care options for patients experiencing issues associated with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), a late stage complication of a variety of GI related cancers with pancreatic cancer being the most common cause.¹ Studies indicate that as many as 50 percent of the malignancies involving the small intestine, including pancreatic, gastric, duodenal and cholangiocarcinoma, occur in the duodenum,² the part of the small intestine connected to the stomach.

The stent offers these patients a minimally invasive alternative to relieve the symptoms and potentially life-threatening complications resulting from duodenal obstruction, such as abdominal pain, vomiting, malnutrition and aspiration.
