We report on our experience in the use of the Westaby tube in 10 patients over a five-year period. The general features of the tube, indications for its use, and its method of insertion are described. The versatility and advantages over other stents are discussed. Two cases reports are described and the clinical course and outcomes of the individual patients are outlined.
