Abstract
A method for maintaining a medical device in place in a lumen of a hollow organ of a patient for a period of months or years includes not using a metal or bioresorbable self-expandable stent. Optionally, a platelet rich plasma (PRP) solution can be applied to a stent to integrate the stent into an interior passageway of a patient. The stent can optionally be formed of a nitinol and inserted through a mouth of the patient. Sutures can be used to attach the stent to the interior passageway of the patient.
