[Results of the upper digestive tract stenting with self-expanding stents].
The work is based on the analysis of the palliative treatment of 66 patients with malignant upper digestive tract obstruction who underwent implantation of 75 self-expanding metallic stents in the period of 2003-2012 yy. Early postoperative complications developed in 10 (15.2%) cases. Procedure-related complications were observed in 8 (12.1%) patients, non-specific complications occurred in 2 (3.0%) patients. In-hospital lethality was 4.5% (3 patients). 51 patients were followed until death. Symptomatic relapse of obstruction was observed in 4 cases. Median survival was 97 days. Stenting with self-expanding metal stents was concluded to be an effective and safe method of palliation of malignant upper digestive tract stenosis.
