UAS-RBS: a Safety Study

"An upper endoscopy will be performed with the use of fluoroscopy. Depending on the size of the stricture a dilation can be performed prior to the stent deployment. Otherwise, the stent will be deployed over a guidewire, under fluoroscopy.~After, the gastroscopy will go through the esophagus to check for the stent deployment, or any complications.~An injection of contrast agent will be done to be sure of the correct positioning and that no complications was happened.~The patient will be kept overnight, with liquid food for 3 days and under PPI until one month after the stent placement."

Six months after implantation, the removal of the stent will be performed. Patient will undergo a first endoscopy under general anesthesia for the placement of a FCSEMS. Then, depending on the importance of the hyperplasia, removal of both stents, under general anesthesia, will be done after 7 to 10 days.
