Endoscopic retrieval of two proximally migrated plastic pancreatic duct stents

Abstract: Plastic stent migration is an important complication of pancreatic duct (PD) stenting, with distal (downstream) migration being more common than proximal (upstream) migration. While the distal stent migration into the duodenum is rarely of any clinical consequence, proximal stent migration can cause serious complications, including obstructive pancreatitis. The endoscopic removal of proximally migrated stents is difficult because of the small diameter of PD, the bended and sometimes tortuous course of PD, the … Show more

“…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 obstructive pancreatitis, acute cholangitis, and duct damage (Rana, Sharma, & Gupta, 2019).
