The management of gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks post surgery is a considerable challenge, characterized by elevated morbidity and mortality, particularly in cases of esophageal-jejunal anastomotic leaks. Diverse endoscopic intervention techniques have been utilized with enhanced success. We present a case where a 57-year-old patient with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer underwent endoscopic deployment of a fully covered stent into a fistula resulting from anastomotic leakage, following a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y and double tract reconstruction.

Article Synopsis
  • The aim of the study was to create a reproducible animal model of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) using a self-expanding nickel-titanium stent.
  • The experiment involved 10 pigs, 7 in the experimental group undergoing TR induction through stent implantation, while 3 served as controls without the stent.
  • Results showed significant changes in cardiac structure and function in the experimental group, indicating successful model establishment with no fatalities, making this approach effective for further research on right ventricular issues.

Background And Aims: Fully covered self-expandable metallic stents (FCSEMS) are often used in the management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding which is refractory to conventional endoscopic treatments. In this meta-analysis, we have evaluated the efficacy and safety of FCSEMS in the management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding.

Methods: We reviewed several databases from inception to November 6, 2024 to identify studies that evaluated the efficacy, and/or safety of FCSEMS in the management of post sphincterotomy bleeding.

Background: Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a common complication in advanced and recurrent gynecologic malignancies, with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) insertion has emerged as an alternative palliative measure, yet data specific to gynecologic malignancies remains scarce.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 patients with gynecologic malignancies and malignant large bowel obstruction who underwent colorectal stenting between January 2002 and December 2023.
