Results:

The highest proportion of inserted prosthesis was performed in malignant stenosis (86%) and in the group of 60 and more years old (81, 3%). The most frequent complications were chest pain (100%) immediately and migration of the stent in benign and on tumor growth in malignant. A hole that had subsequently died.
