ince their first introduction in 1980, plastic endoscopic stents are used to establish patency of biliary or pancreatic ducts (Soehendra & Reynders-Frederix, 1980). The most frequent long-term complications of these stents are occlusion and migration (Kundu & Pleskow, 2007). Stent occlusion involves symptoms of biliary or pancreatic obstruction, possibly leading to acute cholangitis or obstructive pancreatitis. The risk associated with stent occlusion increases with time; therefore, plastic stent replacement or removal is recommended after 3-6 months (Chiba et al., 2020).Stent migrations can occur distal or proximal in the bile duct (Lu, Jin, Wu, Bie, & Gong, 2015). Downstream migration is more common and less harmful despite the loss of draining ability. Very rarely, stents could impact into the bowel wall leading to severe complications such as perforation. Upstream migration may lead to more serious conditions, including
