Malignant duodenal stenosis: palliation with peroral implantation of a self-expanding nitinol stent

EP Strecker, I Boos and KJ Husfeldt
Department of Radiology, Diakonissen Hospital, Karlsruhe, Germany.

The authors implanted a duodenal stent in a woman with a high-grade duodenal stenosis due to inoperable tumor compression. A flexible self- expanding knitted nitinol stent that conformed to the shape of the duodenum was introduced orally to keep the duodenal passage patent. After stent implantation, repeated vomiting stopped and the patient was able to eat and drink. This technique resolved the patient's duodenal stenosis.
