title: The Strecker Esophageal stent in the management of oesophageal strictures: technique of insertion and early clinical experience.
abstract: The Strecker Esophageal stent (Boston Scientific Corporation) offers potential palliation of oesophageal and oesophago-gastric obstruction by means of a self-expanding metal stent. This stent has been used in a series of 12 patients with oesophageal and oesophago-gastric obstruction. Initial experience of stent deployment and early clinical experience is presented.
