Esophageal stent implantation is an alternative for microjejunostomy or total parenteral nutrition in the palliative treatment of malignant dysphagia in the course of esophageal and advanced bronchial cancers infiltrating the esophagus. The procedure of implanting an esophageal self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is performed with gastroscopic guidance under general anesthesia.
