Summary

This study tested a procedure to place a small metal tube (stent) in the portal vein of 63 cancer patients whose vein was blocked by a tumor. The goal was to relieve serious symptoms like fluid buildup in the belly or bleeding in the digestive tract. The procedure was done through the skin and aimed to keep the vein open and improve symptoms. The study looked at how long the stent stayed open, how well it worked, and any side effects.
