[Expandable stents in obstructive unresectable carcinoma of the gastric antrum].
We present a patient with obstructive unresectable carcinoma of the gastric antrum. An expandable stent was placed endoscopically along the tumor to paliate obstruction. Such a procedure allowed unrestricted oral feeding of the patient up to death six months later.
