title: [Implantation of a Stecker metal prosthesis in malignant stenosis of the gastric stump].
abstract: A 55 year old patient 3 years after gastric resection (Billroth II) has got gastric outlet stenosis. Half year ago was established a tumour recidive, that the time of reoperation was inoperable. Under endoscopic and radiological control we have introduced and placed a 19 mm diameter, 4 cm long balloon expandable tantalum stent (Strecker stent). The gastric passage has normalised and after 6 month the patient is symptom free.
