pubmed:abstractText |
Esophageal dilatation and endoprosthesis insertion are very useful techniques in the palliation of malignant esophageal strictures. Patients with tracheoesophageal fistula or tumors poorly responsive to dilation or other therapies will achieve benefit from esophageal stent placement. Although further studies are needed, it appears that the use of expansile metallic stents may be advantageous compared with the standard plastic stents.
