Outcomes of a novel bariatric stent in the management of sleeve gastrectomy leaks: a multicenter study

The management of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy leaks remains a challenge. This can be treated with placement of self-expandable metal stents, which are most effective in the acute and early settings. However, migration is a frequent adverse event (AE). Novel, fully covered stents with a larger proximal flare to limit migration designed specifically to treat postsleeve leaks were recently introduced.The aim of this study was to evaluate the...
