    This study investigated whether interwoven self-expandable metallic stent (I-SEMS) placement suppresses stent-induced tissue hyperplasia compared with conventional knitted self-expandable metallic stent (K-SEMS) placement in a rat esophageal model. Twelve rats were randomly assigned to the I-SEMS (n = 6) and K-SEMS (n = 6) groups. All rats were sacrificed 4 weeks after the stent placement. The degree of stent-induced tissue hyperplasia on esophagography and histologic examination was compared between the groups. Stent placement was technically successful in all rats. Esophagography revealed significantly greater mean luminal diameter of the stented esophagus in the I-SEMS group than in the K-SEMS group (p < 0.001). Histologic examination revealed a significantly lower percentage of tissue hyperplasia area and a significantly thinner submucosal fibrosis in the I-SEMS group than in the K-SEMS group (all p < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the thickness of the epithelial layers (p = 0.290) and degree of inflammatory cell infiltration (p = 0.506). Formation of stent-induced tissue hyperplasia was evident with both I-SEMS and K-SEMS. Placement of I-SEMSs with a small cell size and high flexibility seems to be effective in suppressing stent-induced tissue hyperplasia compared with placement of K-SEMSs in rat esophageal models.

    88 Background: Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is widely used for relieving the obstructive symptoms of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). The aims were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple gastroduodenal stent placement by stent in stent technique and identify predictive factors about stent patency. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 170 patients with GOO receiving SEMS by stent in stent technique from July 2006 to July 2018. Among them, 90 patients had been treated with gastroduodenal SEMS placement for MGOO. Technical and clinical success rates were evaluated. And, clinical outcomes with predictors of stent patency were also analyzed. Results: Among the subjects, 34.4% were treated with secondary SEMS placement, and 9.7% were treated with third SEMS placement because of the previous stent dysfunction. The median stent patency time was 15.7 weeks (range 0-89) in the first SEMS, 10.4 weeks (range 0-44) in the second SEMS, and 11.3 weeks (range 1-29) in the third SEMS. The technical and clinical success rate were 100% and 97.8% in the first SEMS, 100% and 90.3% in the second SEMS, 100% and 100% in the third SEMS. In multivariable analysis, the first SEMS placement of covered type including Comvi stent was correlated with prolonged stent patency (OR 4.549, P = 0.001). And both chemotherapy after the first SEMS placement (OR 8.248, P = 0.006) and chemotherapy after the second SEMS placement (OR 7.467, P = 0.003) were correlated with prolonged stent patency. Serious complications such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage or perforation did not occur in any patient. Conclusions: Secondary and third gastroduodenal SEMS placement by stent in stent technique is a safe and effective treatment for the first stent dysfunction in MGOO. The stent placement of covered type and chemotherapy after stent placement is the predictor of stent patency.

    Abstract Self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is widely used for relieving symptoms in malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple gastroduodenal stent placement using the stent-in-stent technique and to identify factors predictive of stent patency. We retrospectively analyzed data from 170 patients with GOO receiving SEMS using the stent-in-stent technique between July 2006 and July 2018. Of these, 90 had been treated with SEMS placement for MGOO. Technical and clinical success rates were evaluated. Clinical outcomes and predictors of stent patency were also analyzed. Second SEMS placement was used in 34.4% of cases and 9.7% were treated with third SEMS placement because of prior stent dysfunction. Median stent patency time was 15.7 weeks for the first SEMS, 10.4 weeks for the second, and 11.3 weeks for the third. The technical and clinical success rates were 100% and 97.8% for the first SEMS, 100% and 90.3% for the second, respectively, and both 100% for the third. Multivariable analysis showed that use of covered SEMS and chemotherapy after first and second SEMS placement was significant predictors of stent patency. Serious complications such as bleeding or perforation did not occur in any patient. Second and third gastroduodenal SEMS placement using the stent-in-stent technique is safe and effective for management of first stent dysfunction in MGOO. Stent patency is significantly associated with the use of covered SEMS and chemotherapy after SEMS placement.

    Background Two types of self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) are available for malignant distal biliary obstruction: fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS) and uncovered SEMS. FCSEMS can prevent stent ingrowth, but a major concern is spontaneous migration. This study aimed to determine whether the additional insertion of a double-pigtail plastic stent to anchor the FCSEMS can prevent migration. Methods 68 patients with unresectable, malignant, distal, biliary obstruction were included in this multicenter, randomized, superiority trial. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either the FCSEMS plus an anchoring plastic stent (n = 33) or an FCSEMS alone (n = 35). After placement of the FCSEMS, the anchoring stent was inserted inside the FCSEMS. The primary outcome was the rate of stent migration during the 6-month follow-up. The secondary outcomes were stent-related adverse events, stent patency, and survival rates. Results The baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. The rate of stent migration at 6 months was significantly lower in patients with the FCSEMS plus anchoring stent (15 % vs. 40 %; P = 0.02). The mean stent patency was significantly longer in the FCSEMS plus anchoring group (237 days [95 % confidence interval [CI] 199 to 275] vs. 173 days [95 %CI 130 to 217]; P = 0.048). There were no significant differences in stent-related adverse events and overall survival rates at 6 months between the two groups. Conclusions Our data suggest that the additional double-pigtail plastic stent anchored the FCSEMS to prevent migration and prolonged patency without any serious adverse events.

    Stent migration is a major problem that can occur when using a fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) in malignant distal bile duct stricture. The K-papilla Stent (S and G Biotech, Yongin, Korea) ([Fig. 1]) is an FCSEMS with both a tapered portion and flared portion. This stent can be adjusted to the shape of the distal bile duct to the duodenum and has a narrowed papillary portion, which can stabilize its position and prevent migration.
