“…Ainsi, une diverticulite aiguë est une contre-indication formelle aux prothèses sauf en pré-opératoire immédiat [21][22][23]. Cependant, pour des patients très âgés à l'état général précaire, avec une occlusion colique ou une subocclusion due à une sténose diverticulaire ou ischémique, peu de thérapeutiques alternatives à la chirurgie existent.…”

“…Acute inflammation in the colonic segment where a stent should be inserted, as may occur with diverticular disease, is a formal contraindication, except prior to surgery [21][22][23]. However, for older patients in very poor general health with partial or complete bowel obstruction due to diverticular disease or ischemic stenosis, few therapeutic options are available aside from surgery.…”
