Placement of Self-Expandable Metal Stents for Gastric Outlet Obstruction

Abstract: Malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) may occur as a preterminal event in patients with a variety of unresectable cancers. Given that they provide significantly lower morbidity and mortality rates than surgical alternatives, self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) are now widely used in the palliation of malignant GOOs. Although recently developed dedicated through-the-scope stents may facilitate the placement procedure, a full understanding of the specs and physical properties of SEMS are still essential. In addition, an understanding of optimal placement is also critical, and will aid in improving clinical efficacy and preventing potential adverse events. Here, a collection of ideas and insights into stent placement for malignant GOO is presented. This article is part of an expert video encyclopedia.
