Endoscopic Suturing of Esophageal Stent
Journal Title: Gastro - Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Migration is the most common complication of placing an esophageal fully covered self-expanding metal stent (FCSEMS). Prior Studies have demonstrated high migration rates of FCSEMS leading to additional invasive procedures.1 We report a case of esophageal FCSEMS placement with endoscopic suturing which prevented migration of the stent and a successful post procedure course.
