Abstract
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of covered self-expanding metal stents for the treatment of nonvariceal esophageal bleeding in patients for whom routine therapies have failed. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with esophageal bleeding in our hospital. Data on hemostatic effects and complications were collected from patients who underwent esophageal stenting. RESULTS: In total, 4 patients were treated with five stents. In all 4 patients, the placement of esophageal stents immediately stopped the ongoing bleeding. One patient experienced recurrent bleeding 4 days after the removal of the first stent. Hemostasis was achieved after the insertion of a second stent. No stent-related complications occurred during or after stent implantation in the other 3 patients. CONCLUSIONS: The implantation of a covered self-expandable metal stent is a safe and effective alternative to treat acute, nonvariceal esophageal bleeding after routine therapies have failed.
