Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS:
Stent placement was technically successful and well tolerated in 101 of 102 patients (99%). After stent placement, 85 of the 101 patients (84%) with technical success experienced improvement of their symptoms. Tumor overgrowth occurred in five patients, stent migration in two, mucosal hyperplasia in one, bleeding in one, and jaundice in two. Seventy one of the 101 patients died 5 to 340 days (mean, 71 days) after stent placement from progression of their disease, myocardial infarction, bleeding, or sepsis. The remaining 30 patients are still alive 6 to 227 days (mean, 39 days) after stent placement. The 30-day, 60-day, 90-day, and 180-day survival rates were 78%, 58%, 39%, and 8%, respectively. CONCLUSION:
