Official Title: Comparison of Duodenal Stenting vs Transpyloric and Duodenal Stenting for Malignant Obstruction

Brief Summary: Malignant duodenal obstruction in patients not fit for surgery is treated by placing enteral stents during endoscopy. These patients may also have poor gastric motility. Hence bridging the pyloric opening with the stent along with the duodenal obstruction may deliver better symptomatic improvement. Both approaches are commonly clinically practiced but no formal comparative studies have been done to compare which one is better.
