Abstract

Case is a 66-year-old male. He was inserted covered self expandable metallic stent(SEMS)for jejunal stenosis due to gastric cancer recurrence. Migration was occurred after 4 days from stent replacement. We had removed SEMS by endoscopy, and re-inserted non-covered SEMS. Two months later, stent stenosis was occurred by tumor ingrowth. We tried to insert another stent in the stenotic stent. The patient was able to maintain oral intake without complication for 3 months. SEMS placement would improve a quality of life for selected patients with recurrent jejunal stenosis.
