Treatment of complications caused by metallic stent placement in esophageal cancer

Abstract: Background:This study aims to present the complications arising from self-expanding metallic stents placed in patients with esophageal cancer and the treatment methods for these complications. Methods: The study included 268 patients with inoperable esophageal cancer (140 males, 128 females; mean age 64.4±16.3 years; range 28 to 91 years) who were placed 334 metallic stents in our clinic between January 2000 and December 2014.
