In a 50-year-old man, a self-expandable stent was implanted under fluoroscopic guidance to treat symptoms of an inoperable carcinoma of the corpus of the stomach. Foreshortening of the stent necessitated implantation of a proximal extension stent 5 weeks later. Secondary symptoms of advanced stage of the disease negatively influenced clinical success of the procedure, although free passage through the stents was achieved. We conclude that stent implantation for palliation of a carcinoma of the corpus of the stomach seems to be a viable method. The operator has to be aware of the special limitations and problems associated with the procedure.
Oesophageal strictures regardless of aetiology are a difficult and challenging problem facing the oesophageal surgeon. Various methods and techniques have been described and are routinely used in clinical practice with varying rates of efficacy and complications. We describe here a novel graded atraumatic technique for the management of oesophageal strictures using intra-aortic balloon pumps.
