Abstract

The authors reflects on the use of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) for esophageal variceal hemorrhage. They state that traditionally SEMS were used for a variety of malignant and benign esophageal disorders. The authors further claim that while endoscopic band litigation is the treatment of choice for most patients, SEMS appear to be more effective, easier to insert and have lower risks of complications.
