OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of self-expanding metallic stents as palliative treatment in 10 patients with malignant stenosis of the stomach (n = 2) or the duodenum (n = 8). CONCLUSIONS Metallic stents appeared valuable for the treatment of malignant gastroduodenal stenosis in this preliminary study because they provided durable relief of symptoms in eight of 10 patients for a mean of 93 days, until death. Particular attention should be paid to evaluating the digestive tract meticulously downstream because this zone was the cause of failure in two patients. Further studies are needed using a larger series.
