Abstract
Background: Malignant colorectal obstruction (MCRO) by advanced colonic cancer occurs in 8–13% of colonic cancer patients. Emergent surgery carries a high mortality and morbidity risk. Endoscopic self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) may be used in acute MCRO. Aim: Evaluate clinical outcome of SEMS in acute MCRO and efficacy of SEMS placement considering fluoroscopy guidance. Methods: Retrospective study of patients with acute MCRO that placed SEMS in a 3 years period. Results: SEMS were placed in 47 patients, followed-up for a median time of 150 days. The intent of stenting was bridge to definitive surgery in 40% of the patients (n=19) and palliation in the remaining 60% (n=28). The location of the tumor did not influence the presence of lymph node involvement (p=0.764) nor metastasis (p=0.885). Mortality rate at year 1 was 61%. Survival was significantly higher in patients submitted later to combination therapy compared to chemotherapy, surgery or symptomatic treatment (p<0.001). Fluoroscopy was used in 57% of the procedures. Clinical success was 79%. A second SEMS was needed during the procedure in 6% of the patients. Rate of early and late complications was 11% and 5%, respectively. Fluoroscopy guidance did not influence the occurrence of immediate (p=0.385), early (p=0.950) or late complications (p=0.057). Thirty-three percent of patients underwent surgery at a later stage, with neo-adjuvant therapy in 18%. Conclusions: SEMS provide a relative safe and successful treatment in a palliative or bridge-to-surgery indication. No significant differences were found in SEMS placement success, early complications or late complications considering fluoroscopy guidance.
