Abstract
The treatment of choice for patients with unresectable neoplastic obstruction of the small intestine is the placement of expandable metal stents. However, endoscopic delivery from the distal duodenum can be more difficult. This case, shows the usefulness and technical advantages of the overtube and single balloon enteroscopy in the treatment of neoplastic stenosis affecting the small intestine.Entities:
