A case of an 82-year-old woman is reported who developed a lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage secondary to metastatic ovarian carcinoma to the colon. The bleeding, associated with an incomplete obstruction of the large bowel, was successfully treated with the endoscopic insertion of two self-expanding metal stents. A technique of stent placement is presented which differs from that previously reported, where both stents were via colonoscopy and without the use of fluoroscopy.
