Enteral stents: Complications and their management

Lopera, Jorge ; Gregorio Ariza, Miguel Ángel De (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Laborda García, Alicia (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Castaño, Rodrigo

Resumen: The treatment of malignant colonic and gastric outlet obstruction with self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) is an established technique that can be performed by radiologic or a combination of radiologic and endoscopic guidance. The procedure is very effective to relieve the obstructive symptoms of advanced malignancies, with important clinical benefits and significant improvement in quality of life for the patients. Despite much advancement in the designs of SEMS, enteral stent placement is still associated with some significant early and late complications. Stent dysfunction mainly caused by tumor ingrowth/over growth, and stent migration when covered stent are used, are relatively common complications and many times require reinterventions.
