Abstract:Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of disposable imaging catheter-assisted metal stent placement for treating malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients diagnosed with malignant gastroduodenal obstruction who underwent disposable imaging catheter-assisted metal stent placement from April 2022 to October 2025. Technical success rate, clinical success rate, procedure duration, postoperative complications, duration until symptom resolution, and postoperative survival time were recorded and analyzed.Results 17 patients underwent the procedure, achieving a technical success rate of 100.00% (17/17). The clinical success rate was 94.12% (16/17), as one patient did not experience complete symptom relief due to an inability to tolerate solid food postoperatively. The mean procedure duration was (17.8 ± 4.4) min. No instances of postoperative bleeding, perforation, stent migration, or dislodgement occurred. The average duration until symptom resolution was (19.8 ± 9.2) h, and the mean postoperative survival time was (12.2 ± 7.3) weeks.Conclusion Disposable imaging catheter-assisted metal stent placement without radiation is safe and effective method for treating malignant gastroduodenal obstruction.
