Abstract Background and study aims Stent migration is a common complication of fully-covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS), but the rate of clinically relevant migration as defined by stent migration followed by reintervention via endoscopy for stent replacement is unknown. The goal of this study is to gain insight into the total migration rate and clinically relevant migration rate of different types of FCSEMS placed within benign and malignant strictures with specific attention paid to stent manufacturer, diameter, and length. Patients and methods Multicenter retrospective analysis of endoscopic data from patients with FCSEMS placed within benign or malignant strictures. FCSEMS used included a variety of sizes and manufacturers. Results A total of 369 patients were included, 161 of whom had benign strictures and 208 of whom had malignant strictures. The total migration rate and clinically relevant migration rate in benign strictures were 30 % and 17 %, respectively. For benign strictures, Wallflex stents had a clinically relevant migration rate of 15 %, compared to Endomaxx stents with 19 %, and Evolution stents with 25 % (P = 0.52). The total migration rate and clinically relevant migration rates in malignant strictures were 23 % and 14 %, respectively. Evolution stents had a significantly higher clinically relevant migration rate (29 %) than the Wallflex stents (7 %) and the endomaxx stents (12 %), P = 0.003. Conclusion This study is the largest to investigate migration rates for FCSEMS in benign and malignant strictures. Clinically relevant migration is a relatively common occurrence with all stent types studied and better anti-migration features are needed.

151 Background: Use of large caliber ( ≥ 18 mm body diameter) self expanding metal stents (SEMS) for management of malignant dysphasia is associated with substantial adverse event (AE) and mortality rates (MRs). We sought to determine dysphagia response, stent migration rates, and AE and MRs, for small caliber covered SEMS (sccSEMS) with body diameters (BDs) between 10 - 16 mm in malignant dysphagia. Methods: We identified 31 patients underwent direct endoscopic placement of 50 sccSEMS. Patients were monitored for change in dysphagia score (DS), stent migration, AEs, and death. Results: The cohort consisted of 23 (74%) men and 8 (26%) women with a median age of 64 years (35 - 87 years). Esophageal adenocarcinoma (AC) was present in 19 (61%) patients and squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) in 12 (39%) patients. Of the patients with SCCA, 2 tumors were located in the proximal esophagus, 7 in the mid-esophagus and 3 in the distal esophagus. All 19 ACs were located in the distal esophagus. The AJCC clinical stages at time of sccSEMS placement were: 1 (3%) Stage II, 8 (26%) Stage III, and 22 (71%) Stage IV. The initial pre-stent lumen diameter was less than 8 mm in 77% (24/31) of patients. The initial pre-stent lumen diameter was equal to 9 mm in 1 patient (3%), equal to 10 mm in 4 patients (13%), and equal to 11 mm in 2 patients (6%). The median pre-stent tumor length was 5.0 cm (interquartile range 4.0 – 7.0 cm). Dysphagia score improved in 30 of 31 patients (97%). The median DS decreased from 3 to 2 (p < 0.0001). The median effective duration of first sccSEMS placement was 116 (95% CI: 75-196) days. Major and minor AE rates were 6.5% and 19.4% respectively. No stent related deaths were encountered. The overall migration rate was 36% (18/50). The anticipated migration rate was 45.7% (16/35) and the unanticipated migration rate was 13.3% (2/15) (p = 0.052). Positive effective clinical outcome occurred in 93.5% (29/31) of cases. Conclusions: In malignant dysphagia, direct endoscopic sccSEMS placement provided acceptable dysphagia control and migration rates with substantial reductions in stent related AEs and MRs compared to those reported for large caliber SEMS.

Duodenal stenting has been widely used on malignant pathology on selected patients with poor prognosis and advanced disease. In these last years, there has been a clear ampliation of the clinical applications of endoscopy procedures and stents. Its use on benign pathology is spreading but there is a lack of literature about the complications in this context. The incidence of stent migration is about 10-25% in self-expandable metal stent (SEMS), and 2-5% on covered self-expanding metal stents (CSEMS). We reported a clinical case of a 48 years old patient who developed a duodenal ulcer. The patient was submitted to exploratory laparotomy, with duodenal primary closure of the ulcer. Later, the patient developed a enterocutaneous fistula because of the duodenal leak. It was referred to our third level hospital to the hepatopancreatobiliary surgery service. A new exploratory laparotomy with duodenal exclusion was planned, but it was impossible to access due to frozen abdomen. CSEMS was placed in the duodenal bulb resulting in the resolution of leaking, but the stent could not be removed because of migration. The stent trajectory was followed by abdominal x ray and tomography. The patient developed multiple intestinal an fecal enterocutaneous fistulas. It was submitted to multiples endoscopies, colonoscopies and enteroscopy without any success to reaching it. It was decided to perform a right lumbotomy to extract the prothesis. The stent was surgically removed, a planned stoma was left on the right flank on the extraction site.

134 Background: Self-expandable covered metal stents are an important component of palliative care for malignant dysphagia; however significant complication rates have been associated with large diameter stents. We hypothesized that small-caliber, fully covered, self-expandable metal stents (sccSEMS) would prove adequate palliation of dysphagia in the absence of major complications. Methods: Prospective observational study of 17 patients presenting with severe malignant dysphagia between 12/1/08 and 7/30/10. 31 sccSEMS with internal diameters ranging from 8 mm to 16 mm were placed in 17 patients with pre-stent luminal diameters of < 8 mm (n = 13) or 8-10 mm (n = 4). 7 tracheobronchial stents (internal diameter 14–16 mm), 2 biliary stents (internal diameter 8–10 mm), and 22 specially constructed esophageal stents (internal diameter 12–16 mm) were placed. All stents were placed under direct endoscopic vision without fluoroscopic support. Dysphagia scores, migration rates, and complications were identified through review of endoscopy reports, outpatient clinical encounters, and 24-hour post-procedure phone surveys. Anticipated stent migration was defined as events which occurred during chemoradiation. Unanticipated stent migration was defined as events which occurred in the absence of treatment. Results: The post-stent median dysphagia score improved (decreased) from 3 to 2 (p = 0.0003). The overall median duration of first stent placement was 64 days, IQR 32 – 110 days. The overall migration rate was 35.5% (11/31). The anticipated migration rate was 60% (9/15); the unanticipated migration rate was 18.2% (2/11) (p = 0.051). All 11 of the migrated stents were retrieved endoscopically without complication. 9.7% (3/31) of patients reported self-limited sore throat or chest pain within 24-hours of stent placement. All 3 patients were managed conservatively without need for narcotic analgesics, hospitalization, or repeat endoscopy. No other complications occurred. Conclusions: The direct endoscopic placement of sccSEMS in patients presenting with severe malignant dysphagia significantly improved dysphagia scores, provided excellent durability, and resulted in no major complications. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Leakage after oesophageal anastomosis or perforation remains a challenge for the surgeon. Traditional management has been operative repair or intensive conservative management. Both treatments are associated with prolonged hospitalisation and high morbidity and mortality rates. Self-expanding metallic stents have played an important role in the palliation of malignant oesophageal strictures and the treatment of tracheoesophageal fistulae. However, self-expanding metal stents in benign oesophageal disease are associated with complications such as bleeding, food bolus impaction, stent migration, and difficulty in retrieval. The Polyflex stent is the only commercially available self-expanding plastic stent which has been used in the management of malignant oesophageal strictures with good results. This review will consider the literature concerning the use of self-expanding plastic stents in the treatment of oesophageal anastomotic leakage and spontaneous perforations of the oesophagus.

Abstract 41 retrospective observational studies were identified of 792 obese and super obese patients treated with endoscopic stents for bariatric surgery complications including leaks (n = 770) and strictures (n = 22) post-Roux en Y gastric bypass (n = 228) and sleeve gastrectomy (n = 534). The main outcomes of the studies were the percentage success of stent therapy and percentage stent migration. Stents included self-expanding metal stents (SEMS), including partially covered self-expanding metal stents (PcSEMS) and fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FcSEMS). Several SEMS used were specifically designed for bariatric complications, being larger in diameter to reduce migration. The pooled percentage success for all patients (SG and RYGB) was 80.81% with stent migration occurring in 24.67% in all groups. The pooled percentage success for the RYGB group was 80.28% and in the LSG group was 85.86% with percentage migration occurring in 20.65% and 23.82% respectfully.
