The Efficacy of Metallic Stent Placement in the Treatment of Colorectal Obstruction

Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of newly designed covered and non-covered coated colorectal stents for colonic decompression.Materials and MethodsTwenty-six patients, (15 palliative cases and 11 preoperative) underwent treatment for the relief of colorectal obstruction using metallic stents positioned under fluoroscopic guidance. In 24 of the 26, primary colorectal carcinoma was diagnosed, and in the remaining two, recurrent colorectal carcinoma. Twenty-one patients were randomly selected to receive either a… Show more

“…Expandable metallic stents are being increasingly used in palliative nonsurgical therapy or preoperative decompression for malignant colorectal obstructions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Before a stent delivery system is passed through a guide wire, close evaluation of stricture length and severity is essential, and successful advancement of the guide wire is mandatory.…”

“…In fluoroscopically colorectal stent placement, passage of a guide wire through a stricture is a major obstacle to the success of the procedure. Although most interventional radiologists use angiographic catheters for passing a guide wire in colorectal stent placement [1][2][3]5], they have some limitations stemming from the tortuous curved angulations of the intestinal tract and intestinal folds [9,10]. In addition, it is not possible to measure stricture length without removal of the guide wire, and it is difficult to opacify the area of the stricture before stent placement.…”
