| Popis: | We placed a Gianturco self-expanding metallic stent across the recurrent stricture of an esophagojejunostomy in a patient with gastric cancer. Though excellent passage of food resulted, intractable reflux occurred. Two months later the patient succumbed to recurrent tumor. At autopsy, the stent was patent and was partially covered by esophageal mucosa. There were narrow but deep ulcers around the stent hooks. The Gianturco metallic stent may provide an additional option for treating recurrent enteric strictures after other methods fail. Further refinements of the technique appear necessary. |
