Abstract
Over the past century, the use of stents has evolved to a point where they are now used extensively throughout the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopic stenting has become widely used for treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary strictures. Metallic stents are deployed in malignant strictures as a palliative procedure. Adverse events of stenting include perforation, migration, bleeding, occlusion, and pain. Finally, the use of multidisciplinary teams which include endoscopists, interventional radiologists, and surgeons allows for the exchange of ideas and procedural planning necessary for successful innovation. We present a case of successful cessation of bleeding by using cyanoacrylate glue therapy in post-enteral self-expandable metallic stent bleeding. In conclusion, glue therapy may also be considered as a mode of treatment other than conservative approach and angiographic coil embolization.
