Fractures of Self-Expanding Metallic Stents in Periampullary Malignant Biliary Obstruction
Acta Radiologica, 06/29/09
Rasmussen IC et al. - Stent fracture occurs after placement of self-expanding nitinol stents for periampullary malignant biliary obstruction. The low reported incidence of this complication may be due to a lack of awareness of and difficulty in detecting stent fracture. Fracture should be considered as a possible contributing factor in recurrent biliary obstruction after self-expanding metallic stent insertion.
