First seen Dec 09, 2025 · Last updated May 29, 2026 · Updated 22 times
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 stomach. The procedure was found to be safe and effective at keeping the vein open and improving symptoms, but it does not cure the cancer.
