Choledochoscope with Stent Placement for Treatment of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug-Induced Stricture in the Duodenum
Abstract
Malignancy is the most common cause of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) but benign etiologies are responsible for a significant proportion of cases. Dilation therapy coupled with antisecretory therapy and removal of causal factors was shown to achieve long-term resolution of symptoms in patients with peptic ulcer-related GOO.The use of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) has been rarely reported in benign strictures.The following two cases highlight a novel approach to traversing duodenal strictures combined with use of SEMS in benign duodenal strictures.
