Palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction after oesophagectomy by percutaneous transthoracic placement of an expanding metal stent

Self-expanding stents can be used in the palliative management of strictures in the oesophagus, gastric outlet, bile duct and lower gastrointentinal tract [1-4]. Successful stent deployment depends on satisfactory positioning of the assembly device across the stricture. Previous reconstructive surge...

Zusammenfassung:	Self-expanding stents can be used in the palliative management of strictures in the oesophagus, gastric outlet, bile duct and lower gastrointentinal tract [1-4]. Successful stent deployment depends on satisfactory positioning of the assembly device across the stricture. Previous reconstructive surgery may prevent precise endoscopic stent placement. This case report describes percutaneous transthoracic stenting of gastric outlet obstruction due to malignant external compression three years after oesophagectomy. Lyburn, I. (2001). Clinical Radiology56, 82-83.
