Abstract
Partially covered self-expanding metallic stents (SEMS) are the main recommendation for palliative treatment of malignant dysphagia. Delivering self-expanding metallic stents in stenosing oesophagus neoplasia's are often challenging due to the difficulty on passing a guide wire through the tumour. We describe a case in which the guidewire was only able to franchise the tumour retrogradely, after entering the gastric cavity through the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy orifice using an ultra slim scope.
