[Percutaneous Transgastric Stent Placement for Malignant Gastroduodenal Obstruction].

Purpose: To evaluate the technical feasibility and clinical efficacy of percutaneous transgastric stent placement after the failure of treatment attempt with the transoral approach in malignant gastroduodenal obstruction patients.

Materials And Methods: From October 2008 to April 2016, nine patients (M:F = 4:5; mean age = 66 years) with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction underwent stent placement via a gastrostomy tract, which was attributed to the failure of the transoral approach. The primary etiologies of the obstruction were pancreatic ( = 5), gastric ( = 2), and metastatic ( = 2) cancers.

Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis with Lung Cancer: A Comparative Analysis of the Incidence, Survival Rate, and CT Findings with the Patients without Lung Cancer.

Purpose: To compare the incidence, survival rate, and CT findings of acute exacerbation (AE) of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) between patients with and without lung cancer.

Materials And Methods: From June 2004 to July 2018, 89 consecutive patients diagnosed with IPF were included. Among them, 26 patients had IPF with lung cancer (IPF-LCA), and 63 patients had IPF alone.
