RESUMEN
Resumen El sangrado varicoso es una urgencia médica con altas tasas de morbimortalidad. De los pacientes que llegan para recibir manejo hospitalario, hasta un 10% no responden a medidas hemostáticas convencionales, por lo que se ha planteado el uso de prótesis metálicas autoexpandibles para el manejo con resultados prometedores de dichos pacientes. En el presente documento se discute la literatura mundial disponible acerca de la experiencia en el uso de dichos dispositivos; la eficacia en el control agudo; el pronóstico a largo plazo; el tipo de prótesis utilizadas y las alternativas, complicaciones y retos del manejo de pacientes con esta técnica, que puede considerarse emergente en nuestro medio.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Variceal bleeding is a medical emergency which has high rates of morbidity and mortality. Up to 10% of these patients treated in hospitals do not respond to conventional hemostatic measures. For this reason, the use of self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) has been proposed for management of these patients. It has had promising results. This paper discusses the literature available internationally about experience with the use of SEMS, their efficacy for acute control, long-term patient prognoses, types of stents, alternatives, complications, and challenges for the use of SEMS for patient management that should be considered in our environment.
