Upper Gastrointestinal Stent Insertion in Malignant and Benign Disorders

Abstract: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) stents are increasingly being used to manage upper GI obstructions. Initially developed for palliative treatment of esophageal cancer, upper GI stents now play an emerging role in benign strictures of the upper GI tract. Because recurrent obstruction and stent-related complications are common, new modifications of stents have been implemented. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) have replaced older plastic stents. In addition, newly designed SEMS have been developed to prevent compl… Show more

“…2 Success is nonetheless variable in treating benign strictures and refractory oesophageal variceal bleeding. 1 In malignant oesophagorespiratory fistulae (ORF), 80% of cases achieve complete healing with SEMS. 3 Little is known about the efficacy in benign ORF, OPF in particular, due to the clinical rarity and inherent heterogeneity.…”

“…Migration of the stent contributes to clinical failure, and appears to be a particularly troubling issue for fully covered SEMS, with 10% to 25% occurrence in covered stents and 2% to 5% in uncovered. 1 It is also more frequent in placements for fistulae (33.3%) compared with benign strictures (15.8%).…”

“…4,5 Temporary placement of FC-SEMS can also be used to treat benign non-obstructive conditions in the GI tract, such as oesophageal and colonic fistulas. 6 In recent years, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a mainstream therapeutic modality for drainage and fine-needle injection. 7 EUS-guided drainage has been successfully used in the treatment of peripancreatic fluid collections (PFCs).…”
