Short benign ileocolonic anastomotic strictures - management with bi-flanged metal stents: Six case reports and review of literature

Figure 1 Three types of lumen-apposing metal stents 10 mm in diameter. The NAGI lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) is a bi-flanged metal stent with flared ends to yield the bi-flanged design, with a longer saddle (up to 3 cm) than the AXIOS-LAMS stent (1 cm).

Figure 2 The bi-flanged metal stent (NAGI stent).

Figure 3 Post-anastomotic benign ileocolonic stricture.

Figure 4 The bi-flanged metal stent (NAGI stent) was deployed through the stricture.

Figure 5 Endoscopic management of ileocolonic anastomotic stricture with the bi-flanged metal stent. Indwelling period of 35 d after insertion of the bi-flanged metal stent (NAGI) (arrows, left). Post-anastomotic stricture (arrows, right).
