Abstract

Self expandable metal stent (stent) implantation of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract is now widely accepted for the palliation of obstructive symptoms caused by inoperable malignant UGI obstruction. With the technical progress and accumulation of clinical experiences, it became possible to perform the procedure easily, safely and effectively. However, clinicians should pay attention to the post-procedural care, because early or late complications such as ulceration, pain, bleeding, food impaction, perforation, migration or in-stent tumor growth could occur. In this review, several topics about stent placement in the UGI tract are discussed, such as major indications for stenting, kinds of stents, and post-procedural management.

상부 위장관 스텐트 삽입술은 근치적 수술이 불가능한 상부 악성 종양에 의한 상부 위장관 협착 환자의 폐쇄 증상 완화를 위한 보존적 치료로서 확립되었으며 내시경 개발 기술이 발달하고 임상 경험이 축적됨에 따라서 여러 상부 위장관 질환에서 스텐트 삽입술을 보다 편리하고 안전하게 시행할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 스텐트 삽입술 이후에는 동통, 출혈, 천공과 같은 조기 합병증이나 스텐트 일탈, 스텐트 폐쇄 등의 후기 합병증이 발생할 수 있으므로 사후 관리 또한 중요하다.
