Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Esophageal and biliary stents are crucial indwelling devices for managing specific gastrointestinal and biliary conditions.
  • Stenting is a well-established procedure for alleviating malignant obstructions in the esophagus and biliary tract.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the spectrum of early and late complications associated with esophageal and biliary stents.
  • To emphasize the clinical and radiographic features of these complications.
  • To provide diagnostic and treatment recommendations for emergency department physicians.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on complications of esophageal and biliary stents.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and radiographic findings.
  • Development of a diagnostic and management algorithm.

Main Results:

  • Complications can manifest early or late after stent placement.
  • Clinical and radiographic findings are key to identifying specific complications.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding stent-related complications is vital for effective patient care.
  • Emergency physicians require clear guidelines for managing these potential adverse events.
  • This review offers a practical approach to diagnosing and treating stent complications encountered in the emergency setting.
