DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2020.06.033
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Self-expandable metal stents are used for palliation of malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO). Studies comparing covered self-expandable metallic stents (C-SEMSs) and uncovered self-expandable metallic stents (U-SEMSs) have led to inconclusive results. We… read more here.
