Abstract
2 (proven subsequently to be bleeding from gastric varices), terminal HCC (n = 1) and progressive multiple organ failure (n = 2). There were no complications related to stent insertion or removal and no stent migration was observed. Conclusion: In patients with oesophageal variceal haemorrhage, insertion of the SX-Ella DANIS stent offers an alternative to other methods of salvage therapy. Stent insertion is easy and appears safe. Haemostasis rates are good (78%) but mortality is affected primarily by severity of the underlying liver disease.
