Boston scientific corporation became aware of the following event through the article, "outcomes of colon self-expandable metal stents for malignant vs benign indications at a tertiary care center and review of literature", by walayat, s., et al.Per the literature, a retrospective reviewed was performed to all patient who underwent colonic self-expanding metal stent placement from august 2004 through august 2022 at university of wisconsin.There were sixty-three patients over the age of 18 who underwent colonic stent placement.Fifty-five cases were for malignant indication, and eight were for benign conditions.The benign strictures included diverticular disease stricturing (n = 4), fistula closure (n = 2), extrinsic fibroid compression (n = 1), and ischemic stricture (n = 1).Forty-three of the malignant cases were due to intrinsic obstruction from primary or recurrent colon cancer; 12 were from extrinsic compression.Fifty-four strictures occurred on the left side, 3 occurred on the right and the rest in transverse colon.According to the literature, a case of a 62-year-old, female, with rectal cancer, was successfully implanted with a wallflex colonic stent.However, four months later, the patient required repeat stenting due to recurrent obstruction secondary to tumor ingrowth.The patient sustained clinical remission thereafter.
