Comparison of fully-covered vs partially covered self-expanding metallic stents for palliative treatment of inoperable esophageal malignancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Background: This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes following placement of fully covered self-expanding metallic stents (FCSEMS) vs partially covered self-expanding metallic stents (PCSEMS) for palliative treatment of inoperable esophageal cancer. Methods: We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, and CENTRAL (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) databases from inception up to 10th July 2019. Studies comparing clinical outcomes with FCSEMS vs PCSEMS in patients with inoperable esophageal canc… Show more

“…78 In a 2020 meta-analysis of 231 patients that compared fully covered to partially covered SEMS insertion for palliation in esophageal cancer, the bleeding risk was the same for both stent types. 79 In a meta-analysis including 444 patients with stents placed for benign indications, the risk of bleeding was 1.8%. 80 Gastroduodenal stent placement.…”

“…Covering a laser-cut stent replaces the open spaces between the stent struts with a polymer membrane to create a solid-walled tubular device and these have been effective in excluding aneurysms [9], preventing tumour in-growth [10], and sealing perforated vessels [11]. Covered stents also have benefits in reducing the incidence of tissue in-growth and re-embolization, as the cover acts as a mechanical barrier between the bloodstream and the vessel wall [12,13].…”
