Antireflux valve self-expanding stent in the treatment of gastroesophageal junction tumors

RESUMO

Background - advanced tumors of distal esophagus and cardia treated with self expanding metal stents (SEMS) deployed across gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) created conditions for gastroesophageal reflux and complications like aspiration and esophagitis. So, an antireflux mechanism asssociated to it would be usefull to the quality of life of the patients. Aim - to evaluate dysphagia palliation, GER manifestations, nutritional parameter and quality of life in palliative treatment of patients with esophagogastric advanced tumors with of SEMS with antireflux valve / Racional - a paliação da disfagia por neoplasia maligna avançada da junção esofagogástrica com próteses metálicas auto-expansíveis propicia condições para o refluxo gastroesofágico e complicações como broncoaspiração e esofagite. Próteses com mecanismo anti-refluxo têm função de evitá-las. Objetivo: avaliar os resultados clínicos obtidos com o tratamento...
