Small Bowel Stent-in-Stent Placement for Malignant Small Bowel Obstruction Using a Balloon-Assisted Overtube Technique

چکیده
Self-expanding metal stents are a useful therapy to palliate malignant and benign luminal gastrointestinal obstruction. Self-expanding metal stents has been widely reported for colonic, esophageal, and gastric obstruction. However, endoscopic delivery and placement to the small bowel is more challenging and difficult. This case illustrates the usefulness and technical advantages of the balloon-overtube and enteroscopy technique for the palliative treatment of neoplastic stenosis affecting the small intestine.

متن کاملBenign distal jejunal stricture treated by a partially covered esophageal stent with the use of spiral enteroscopy.
Malignant strictures of the proximal to mid small bowel have been successfully managed by deploying enteral stents with the use of an overtube [1,2]. In case reports and published series, stents have been deployed only to the ligament of Treitz and rarely into the proximal jejunum [3,4]. We present here the case of a benign stricture in the distal jejunum managed by deploying a partially covere...

متن کاملSurgical Relief of Small Bowel Obstruction by Migrated Biliary Stent: Extraction Without Enterotomy
BACKGROUND Distal stent migration is a well-known complication following insertion of biliary stents. Most such cases can be managed expectantly, because the stents pass through the gastrointestinal tract. However, small bowel obstruction as a result of the stent mandates surgical intervention. METHODS We report the case of a patient who had distal stent migration causing a small bowel obstru...
