Covered expandable nitinol stents for malignant gastroduodenal obstructions

Background and Aim:  The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical effectiveness, safety, and outcome associated with the use of covered expandable Nitinol stents (Taewoong Medical, Seoul, Korea) for the treatment of malignant gastroduodenal obstructions.
