PAGES, Álvaro Piazze; GHIGGIA, Sebastián Fraga  e  CALVETE, Gabriela Rodríguez. Endoscopic palliative treatment with stents in patients with a neoplastic occlusion of left colon stage IV. Multicenter Study. Anfamed [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.1, pp.73-81. ISSN 2301-1254.  https://doi.org/10.25184/anfamed2017.4.1.5.

We sought to analyze the results obtained with the use of stents in the treatment of neoplastic occlusion of the left colon in stage IV patients. Twenty three patients met the inclusion criteria. Among the 19 patients in whom the stent placement was achieved (82.6%), 2 patients (10.5%) suffered a complication requiring surgery and colostomy. No other complications were recorded. The remaining 17 patients (89.5%) were able to complete their evolution without occlusion and without the need to perform a colostomy, with a mean of 82-day functioning stent. There was no mortality associated with the procedure. We demonstrated a technical success of 82.6% (successful placement of the stent) and a clinical success of 89.5% (patients who resolved occlusion after stent placement). Mortality was not recorded in these patients and a morbidity of 10.5% was observed. These values are similar to those published in international series.
