BRIEF EXPLANATIONF ULLY COVERED SELF-EXPANDABLE metal stents (FCSEMS) have been used for the treatment of benign esophageal conditions such as perforation, leaks, and strictures, 1 and high clinical success is reported. 2 Different anchoring methods have been described (clips, suturing devices, over-the-scope clips and Shim technique 2 ), because of high migration rates (4-36%). 3,4 However, not all cases are candidates, mostly in "difficult" cases where enteral feeding is needed. 5 We report the use of the nasojejunalstent technique (NJST) to prevent migration of FCSEMS in three difficult cases.An 83-year-old man presented to the specialties hospital with hematemesis and hypovolemic shock.

(d) Nasojejunal-stent technique was applied in order to avoid stent migration (retroflexion view). (e) Frontal view throughout the FCSEMS.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
