Case description

More maneuvers to pass the Stent During an esophageal stent placement procedure, a tiny tube known as a stent is placed at a point of narrowing or blockage to open up the esophagus to help the patient swallow or drink more easily. These tubes are made out of polyester(plastic), nitinol(metal) or hybrid material. Stents may be used to treat patients suffering from a refractory benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) disease.
