| Core Tip |
Self-expandable metallic stent placement is an effective palliative treatment in patients who have inoperable malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. However, clinical parameters associated with stent patency have been controversial. This retrospective study investigated the potential predictive factors of stent patency. We found that carcinoembryonic antigen level is an easily determined parameter that is associated with stent patency in malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. |
