Abstract

The patient was a 68-year-old male, who had performed total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. He needed an expandable metalic stent (EMS) placed in his stenotic jejunum, because of local recurrence. We succeeded in making the unfixed jejunum straight, and placing EMS in it by application of percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (PEJ).
This made the patient start eating food, going back to social life. This method could be applied to re-stenosis and carcinomatous ileus, and would be a useful way for terminal care.
