Both studies report high rates of complications: 43% in the Keränen study, and 38% in the Small study. Most complications were associated with acute diverticulitis and occurred after the seventh day following the procedure. This suggests that stent implantation should be temporary in order to prepare the patient for early surgery.
Ambos estudios reportan una elevada tasa de complicaciones 43% y 38% respectivamente, mayoritariamente en diverticulitis aguda y a partir del séptimo día, por lo que sugieren que la implantación de la prótesis sea un procedimiento temporal con la finalidad de preparar al paciente para una posterior cirugía precoz.
