Self-Expanding Metal Stent (SEMS): an innovative rescue therapy for refractory acute variceal bleeding
BACKGROUND Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis or less commonly splenic vein thrombosis. Pharmacological and endoscopic interventions are cornerstones in the management of variceal bleeding but may fail in 10 - 15 % of patients. Rescue therapy with balloon tamponade (BT) or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may be required to co...
متن کاملEndoscopic removal of an impacted bile duct self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) using the SEMS-in-SEMS technique.
In contrast to covered self-expanding metal stents (c-SEMS), retrieval of uncovered SEMS (u-SEMS) from the bile duct may be quite difficult or impossible. We describe the endoscopic removal of an impacted u-SEMS using the SEMS-in-SEMS technique. A 62-year-old man presented with acute pancreatitis, jaundice, and weight loss. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a “malignant-appearing” mass in the h...
متن کاملUncovered Self-Expanding Metal Stent (SEMS) Four Years After Placement for Long-Term Treatment of a Benign Colonic Obstruction
Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have emerged as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of malignant colorectal obstructions. There is limited data about their use for benign colonic obstructions, especially in regards to safety and long-term patency. We present a case in which long-term SEMS placement proved to be a durable option for over 4 years in a patient with a benign colonic stric...
متن کاملSubclavian artery-esophageal fistula after placement of a self-expanding metal stent in a patient with esophagogastric anastomosis stenosis
Background: There have been reports on stent-related vascular erosions about patients with benign or malignant stenosis of the esophagus who received endoscopic stent insertion for palliative intention for oral intake. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman with esophageal cancer located in the middle part of esophagus was treated with esophagectomy. Two years following the surgery, malignan...
متن کاملSelf-expanding metal stent placement for oesophageal cancer without fluoroscopy is safe and effective.
BACKGROUND Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are widely used to palliate patients with oesophageal cancer. Placement is usually done under endoscopic and fluoroscopic guidance. We have developed an exclusively endoscopic technique to deploy these stents. This article documents the technique and periprocedural experience. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients who had SEMS placement for oesophagea...
