Malignancies of gastro-intestinal tract cause stricture formation that leads to intestinal obstruction. In such cases, either surgery or placement of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) are options of palliation. For left sided colorectal obstruction, SEMS have been widely used and reported. Luminal stenting is not always an easy task to perform because of altered anatomy of the surrounding structures, specially in the right side of colon and terminal ileum. SEMS placement, particularly in the ileocecal region, is technically difficult. Few studies on SEMS deployment in right sided colon have been reported till now. We report a case of metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma of rectosigmoid junction with malignant terminal ileal stricture palliation done with placement of SEMS.

Graphdiyne (GDY), which is composed of benzene rings and acetylene linkage units, is a new allotrope of carbon material. In particular, the large triangular pores of GDY, with a diameter of 5.4 Å, theoretically predict a higher lithium embedding density than traditional graphite anodes, making it a promising candidate for energy storage materials in lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

Esophago-jejunal anastomoses fistula could be mortal. Currently there is a wide therapeutic measure ranging from conservative management, endoscopic therapy and surgery. Endoscopic management has been positioned above other strategies due to minimal invasion which improves survival and reduces mortality.

Concurrent malignant biliary and gastric outlet obstruction requires urgent palliative intervention to improve patient quality of life and permit systemic therapy. Traditional management has been surgical gastrojejunostomy and hepaticojejunostomy, two morbid procedures. Comparatively, endoscopic stenting can relieve both sites of obstruction with less complications and quicker recovery.

Malignant biliary obstruction presents a significant therapeutic challenge and has serious consequences including cholangitis and death. Clinically, biliary stenting using self-expanding metallic- stent(SEMS) relieves this obstruction. However, stent occlusion occurs with time due to tumor/epithelial in-growth and bacterial colonization.

Background And Aims: The therapeutic management of fistulas presents significant challenges, often involving both conservative and surgical approaches. Despite these interventions, recurrence and postoperative mortality rates remain high. Endoscopic stent insertion into the fistula, along with the creation of a stent stoma, may offer a promising alternative for patients who fail surgical or conservative therapies.
