Uncovered Self-Expanding Metal Stent (SEMS) Four Years After Placement for Long-Term Treatment of a Benign Colonic Obstruction

چکیده
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 stricture.

Plastic and Biodegradable Stents for Complex and Refractory Benign Esophageal Strictures
Endoscopic stent placement is a well-accepted and effective alternative treatment modality for complex and refractory esophageal strictures. Among the currently available types of stents, the partially covered self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) has a firm anchoring effect, preventing stent migration and ensuring effective covering of a narrowed segment. However, hyperplastic tissue reaction driv...
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 کاملPreoperative Colonoscopy for Detection of Synchronous Neoplasms after Insertion of Self-Expandable Metal Stents in Occlusive Colorectal Cancer: Comparison of Covered and Uncovered Stents
BACKGROUND/AIMS In patients with occlusive colorectal cancers, a complete preoperative evaluation of the colon proximal to the obstruction is often impossible. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of preoperative colonoscopy after stent placement and to determine whether the success rate of colonoscopy differs between covered and uncovered stents. METHODS Seventy-three patients with malignant...
متن کاملConformable metallic stent placement in a sigmoid volvulus: a feasible and effective bridge option.
Sigmoid volvulus is the third leading cause of colonic obstruction in adults. Surgical resection with primary anastomosis is the standard of care [1]. Endoscopic reduction is a feasible option inpatientswithuncomplicated conditions [2] despite the fact that mechanical detorsion is not always successful, even by skilled hands. Few data are available concerning the role of self-expanding metallic...
متن کاملThrough-the-scope self-expanding metal stent placement using newly developed short double-balloon endoscope for the effective management of malignant afferent-loop obstruction.
This is the first report of through-thescope (TTS) self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement, using a newly developed, short-type, double-balloon endoscope (S-DBE), for the palliation of malignant afferent-loop obstruction (ALO). The endoscope has a 3.2mm working channel and 152cm working length (EI-580BT; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). The SEMS is a new Niti-S D pyloric/duodenal uncovered stent, w...
