The patients were 11 men and 4 women, mean age 65.3 years. Fourteen of 15 patients were affected by a malignant stricture of the antro-pyloric region and\/or duodenum either primary or secondary in 10 and 4 cases, respectively. Only in 1 case there was a benign stricture from postoperative scarring. Stricture length and diameter varied from 3 to 9 cm (mean 5.4 cm) and from 0 to 4 mm (mean 1.27 mm), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Twenty-one stents were placed in 15 patients: Technical success was achieved in all cases while clinical improvement was obtained in 14 cases. No short-term complications were observed. A mean 4.3-month follow-up was obtained. Two patients had emesis secondary to peritoneal dissemination of the tumor after 1 and 2 months, respectively. Two other patients showed tumor overgrowth of the oral edge of the prosthesis after 3 and 2 months, respectively, and required another coaxial stent to bridge the new stenosis. The patient treated for a benign stricture had jaundice after 3 months and percutaneous internal-external biliary drainage was necessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion: Self-expandable metal stents are a safe and effective treatment of antro-pyloric and duodenal strictures; therefore, they should be considered an alternative to palliative resection in cases of advanced stage disease or poor general physical condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/028418501127346477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,23]],"date-time":"2004-07-23T15:10:35Z","timestamp":1090595435000},"page":"176-180","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Self-expandable metal stents in the treatment of antro-pyloric and\/or duodenal strictures"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Profili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.B.","family":"Meloni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V.","family":"Bifulco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Conti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.F.","family":"Feo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.C.","family":"Canalis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, University of Sassari, Sassari, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,30]]},"container-title":["Acta Radiologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/028418501127346477","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/028418501127346477","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T13:45:13Z","timestamp":1777383913000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1080\/028418501127346477"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2001,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2001,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1080\/028418501127346477"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/028418501127346477","relation":{},"ISSN":["0284-1851","1600-0455"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0284-1851","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0455","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2001,3]]}}}
