Gastrointestinal fistulas: treatment with covered stents

Gastrointestinal fistulas require time to heal properly. In recent years, metallic stents have played an important role in the treatment of gastrointestinal disease. We treated esophageal, biliary, and colonic fistulas with a covered stent. These patients were not in an operable condition and received palliative treatment during hospitalization. After covered stent placement, all fistulas were sealed, and all patients could be discharged. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate the usefulness of covered stents in treating gastrointestinal fistulas.
