Abstract
In presence of malignant dysphagia, in patients unfit for surgery, the placement of a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) represents a safe and effective palliative treatment. Esophageal stents (ES) present an over-the-wire mechanism where the stent is deployed under X-ray control. Recently a through-the-scope (TTS) ES was launched. The aim of our retrospective study is to assess the technical and clinical success of the new TTS-ES.
