However, their use is frequently associated with complications, including urinary tract infections, biofilm formation, encrustation, inflammation, and patient discomfort. Contemporary research is focused on the development of next-generation drug-eluting stents capable of providing localized and sustained release of pharmacologically active agents. This review systematizes current data on modern types of drug-eluting stents used in urology, including those incorporating antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic agents, and analyzes their effectiveness and limitations. Results of experimental and clinical studies demonstrating the potential of controlled drug-release stents to reduce the risk of infection, hyperplasia, and ureteral strictures are presented. Issues of biocompatibility, material degradation, drug resistance, and future prospects for the implementation of biodegradable and smart stents based on nanotechnology and 3D printing are discussed. The development of such stent designs may substantially improve the efficacy and safety of stenting, enhance patients’ quality of life, and establish a new direction in minimally invasive urologic therapy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Мочеточниковые стенты широко применяют в урологической практике для восстановления проходимости мочевых путей при обструкции различного генеза. Однако их использование часто сопровождается осложнениями, включая инфекции мочевых путей, образование биопленок, инкрустацию, воспаление и дискомфорт у пациентов. Современные исследования направлены на создание стентов нового поколения с лекарственным покрытием, обеспечивающих локальное и пролонгированное высвобождение фармакологически активных веществ. В обзоре систематизированы данные о современных типах стентов с лекарственным покрытием, используемым в урологии, включая антибактериальные, противовоспалительные и противоопухолевые препараты, а также анализ их эффективности и ограничений. Представлены результаты экспериментальных и клинических исследований, демонстрирующие потенциал стентов с контролируемым высвобождением лекарств для снижения риска инфекций, гиперплазии и стриктур мочеточника. Обсуждаются проблемы биосовместимости, деградации материалов, лекарственной устойчивости и перспективы внедрения биоразлагаемых и «умных» стентов, основанных на нанотехнологиях и 3D-печати. Развитие таких конструкций способно существенно повысить эффективность и безопасность стентирования, улучшить качество жизни пациентов и обозначить новое направление в минимально инвазивной урологической терапии.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ureteral stent</kwd><kwd>drug-eluting stents</kwd><kwd>urinary tract infections</kwd><kwd>biofilm</kwd><kwd>biodegradable materials</kwd><kwd>anti-inflammatory agents</kwd><kwd>antineoplastic agents</kwd><kwd>nanotechnology</kwd><kwd>biocompatibility</kwd><kwd>3D printing</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мочеточниковый стент</kwd><kwd>стенты с лекарственным покрытием</kwd><kwd>инфекции мочевых путей</kwd><kwd>биопленка</kwd><kwd>биоразлагаемые материалы</kwd><kwd>противовоспалительные препараты</kwd><kwd>противоопухолевые препараты</kwd><kwd>нанотехнологии</kwd><kwd>биосовместимость</kwd><kwd>3D-печать</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Lange D, Bidnur S, Hoag N, et al.
