Self-expandable oesophageal stents are being increasingly used in the management of malignant oesophageal strictures. Most benign peptic oesophageal strictures can be successfully managed using endoscopic oesophageal dilatation combined with long-term Proton pump inhibition therapy. Although endoscopic oesophageal dilatation can be performed on an outpatient basis, it often requires repeated hospital visits. There is a small risk of oesophageal perforation, while cardio-respiratory complications may be encountered during the use of intravenous sedation in an elderly population. The use of self-expandable Strecker stents in three elderly patients with benign peptic oesophageal strictures is described.
自膨式食管支架在恶性食管狭窄的治疗中应用越来越广泛。大多数良性消化性食管狭窄可通过内镜下食管扩张联合长期质子泵抑制治疗成功处理。尽管内镜下食管扩张可在门诊进行，但通常需要多次复诊。存在食管穿孔的小风险，而在老年人群中使用静脉镇静时可能会出现心肺并发症。本文描述了自膨式施特雷克支架在3例老年良性消化性食管狭窄患者中的应用。
