Self-expanding nitinol stents for bleeding from esophageal varices in patients with portal hypertension

Blakemore probe-obturator was previously preferable for primary hemostasis in patients with bleeding from esophageal varices. Currently, Danis self-expanding nitinol stent became an effective alternative. According to some manufacturers, Danis stent has some advantages over balloon tamponade. We rep...

Description
Summary:	Blakemore probe-obturator was previously preferable for primary hemostasis in patients with bleeding from esophageal varices. Currently, Danis self-expanding nitinol stent became an effective alternative. According to some manufacturers, Danis stent has some advantages over balloon tamponade. We report implantation of nitinol stent for hemostasis in a patient with multiple recurrent bleeding and ineffective endoscopic manipulations. A method of stent fixation for prevention of distal migration as the most common complication is described.
