Suh JP et al. - In a trial to evaluate the effectiveness of stent placement for palliative treatment and to identify predictive factors associated with stent occlusion, it was reported that uncovered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement is an effective palliative treatment for malignant colorectal obstruction. The degree of stent expansion 48 hr after stent placement is significantly associated with maintenance of stent patency and is a predictive factor for stent occlusion.
