چکیده
A 56-year-old male with metastatic unresectable cholangiocarcinoma presented to our clinic with worsening nausea and vomiting. Prior to presentation, the patient underwent placement of a palliative metal biliary stent and an uncovered self-expandable metal stents (UCSEMS) through the pylorus and duodenum for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) from tumor burden. However, the patient subsequently developed a repeat duodenal obstruction from tissue ingrowth and had a second UCSEMS deployed within the first stent 6 months after the original stent placement.

BACKGROUND Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) is commonly seen in patients with advanced gastric-, pancreatic-, duodenal, hepatobiliary or metastatic malignancies. Ten to 25% of patients with pancreatic cancer will develop duodenal obstruction during the course of the disease. Duodenal stenting with self-expandable metal stents is an alternative treatment to surgical bypass procedures. ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is an important factor in determining the clinical outcome in patients with stent placement for malignant gastric outlet obstruction but the factors associated with DGE remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether clinicopathologic data could be used to identify the factors for DGE in such patients. PATIENTS AND METH...
متن کاملGastric Outlet Obstruction Palliation: A Novel Stent-Based Solution
Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) after esophagectomy is a morbid outcome and significantly hinders quality of life for end-stage esophageal cancer patients. In the pre-stent era, palliation consisted of chemotherapy, radiation, tumor ablation, or stricture dilation. In the current era, palliative stenting has emerged as an additional tool; however, migration and tumor ingrowth are ongoing chall...
