Core Tip	The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the efficacy of double-layered nitinol covered stent in the treatment of malignant oesophageal obstructions. The literature was searched following the PRISMA selection process as recommended by Cochrane. Weighted pooled outcomes were synthesized with a random effects model to account for clinical heterogeneity. This meta-analysis highlights the promising outcomes of the double-layered covered stent and demonstrates significant immediate relief of dysphagia with low rates of stent migration and tumour overgrowth. The unique design of this stent seems to combines the merits of both plain covered and uncovered metal esophageal stent designs.
