Outcomes after placement of a SX‐ELLA oesophageal stent for refractory variceal bleeding—A national multicentre study

摘要

BackgroundCurrent guidelines favour the use of bleeding stents over balloon tamponade (BT) for refractory variceal bleeding (VB) from oesophageal varices. However, data on the efficacy and safety of self‐expandable metal SX‐ELLA Danis stents (SEMS) are limited.
