Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A large number of clinical reports confirm that stent materials can improve the treatment of esophageal obstruction for more than 95%, stent technology is easy to operate, with less pain and more safety.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively analyze the clinical therapeutic effect of membrane-covered stent materials on luminal stenosis and esophago-tracheal fistula in the treatment of advanced esophageal cancer.
METHODS: Thirty cases of malignant esophageal stenosis were diagnosed by esophageal barium meal examination and gastroscope esophageal pathology, and treated by nickel-titanium alloy covered esophageal stent. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed, treatment effect of the stent was evaluated, and the related factors and countermeasures of surgical complications were investigated.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 37 covered esophageal stents were placed on 30 patients with success rate of 100%. After the surgery, the swallowing difficulty and bucking symptoms rapidly relieved and disappeared. No serious complications were observed. Esophageal stent is an effective and secure way to treat the esophageal carcinoma, the swallowing difficulty rapidly relieves and choke cough symptoms of esophago-tracheal fistula disappear, also the ingestion of the patients improves.
