Closure of Benign Leaks, Perforations, and Fistulas With Temporary Placement of Fully Covered Metal Stents: A Retrospective Analysis

Conclusions:Temporary placement of FC-SEMS for benign perforations, fistulas, and leaks is feasible in sealing the leaks. All migrations could be solved endoscopically. It is very important to insert the stent before sepsis is established. This article also would be an addition to the growing body of literature supporting stenting as a good alternative if not standard approach to controlling these leaks.
