• Interventional Radiology
• Oncology

Context:

• Malignant gastroduodenal obstruction often presents with unresectable primary tumors and distant metastases.
• Current treatments aim to palliate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of dual interventional therapy for advanced malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.
• Dual interventional therapy involves metallic stent placement and intra-arterial chemotherapy.

Summary:

• 65 patients with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction received dual interventional therapy.
• All patients had successful stent implantation with no severe adverse events.
• Cumulative survival rates at 12 months were 28%, with a median survival of 11.9 months.

Impact:

• Dual interventional therapy is a safe, feasible, and effective treatment option.
• This approach can temporarily relieve obstructive symptoms and control tumor growth.
• Provides a palliative treatment strategy for advanced malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.
