(A) Abdominal radiograph of a 48-year-old woman with metastatic colonic carcinoma and local invasion who presented with acute colonic obstruction. Palliative decompression was offered because of her poor general condition and high surgical risk. (B) Radiograph obtained immediately after stent deployment showing partial expansion of the stent (arrow), with adequate flow of contrast material. (C) Abdominal radiograph obtained 24 hours after stent deployment showing decompression of the colonic obstruction; adequate position of the stent is noted.
