ACG Case Rep J. 2023 Oct 26;10(10):e01192. doi: 10.14309/crj.0000000000001192. eCollection 2023 Oct.

Abstract

Distal stent migration leading to duodenal perforation is an uncommon complication of endoscopic biliary plastic stent placement. We present a case in which a patient with a migrated biliary plastic stent that perforated through the duodenum was managed expectantly until a duodenocolic fistula formed prior to endoscopic removal.

Keywords: ERCP; biliary stent migration; duodenocolic fistula.
