Asghari Y, Firuzpour F. Distal sigmoid perforation secondary to migration of a biliary stent: A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2025; 128:110921. [PMID: 39904271 PMCID: PMC11847084 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2025.110921] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2024] [Revised: 01/16/2025] [Accepted: 01/20/2025] [Indexed: 02/06/2025] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Colonic perforation is a rare but critical condition that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, particularly when iatrogenic in nature, such as from biliary stent migration, which occurs in less than 1 % of cases. This underscores the need for awareness among healthcare professionals regarding this potential risk and the importance of timely diagnosis and management. CASE PRESENTATION We present an 80-year-old female patient admitted with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. Radiological examinations revealed free air under the diaphragm and a perforation at distal sigmoid part of the colon caused by a lodged foreign body. Instead of the standard resection and colostomy, we opted for exclusive repair of the perforated area due to the patient's stable condition. Subsequent investigations identified the foreign body as a migrated Common Bile Duct (CBD) stent from a previous ERCP procedure. The patient underwent successful repair and recovered fully after one week of hospitalization, with no complications during a six-month follow-up. Notably, it must be included that the work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Management of sigmoid perforation following CBD stenting requires careful consideration of patient stability and perforation characteristics. In this case, primary repair was justified to preserve bowel continuity. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for effectively managing iatrogenic perforations. CONCLUSION Sigmoid perforation, while rare, can arise from biliary stenting procedures; thus, patients with abdominal pain post-procedure should be thoroughly investigated. To ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of surgical complications, it is important to remove the plastic biliary stents promptly after their intended use. Tailored management strategies are vital to prevent severe outcomes and improve prognosis, demonstrating that individualized treatment can minimize morbidity associated with invasive surgical procedures.

Abstract
Distal migration of biliary plastic stents is rare. Although these stents are primarily used in the treatment of benign diseases of the biliopancreatic tract, their distal migration can lead to severe complications, such as perforation of any part of the digestive system. The authors report a case of sigmoid diverticulum perforation caused by the migration of a biliary plastic stent, which had been initially placed due to a failure to extract a common bile duct (CBD) stone. A review of similar cases in the literature was conducted, and the findings were analyzed in relation to the reported case. The search was performed in MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library, covering studies published between 1975 and 2025. Only studies describing the placement of biliary plastic stents during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) were included, while studies with incomplete data were excluded. This study highlights this rare and serious complication, which carries a high morbidity rate. Despite careful stent positioning during ERCP and periodic follow-up, this adverse event (AE) cannot always be prevented. Although distal stent migration with perforation can often be treated endoscopically, preoperative evaluation of the patient's clinical condition and precise localization of the perforation is crucial for successful endoscopic stent removal, thus avoiding the need for surgery.

Abstract
Introduction Bowel perforation due to migrated biliary stent is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of duodenal and ascending colonal perforation due to biliary stent migration. Case presentation A 35-year-old man is complaining of right upper abdominal pain presented to the gastroenterology department. Two months ago, he was diagnosed with common bile duct stone with acute cholangitis, a straight plastic biliary stent was placed in his common bile duct. Abdominal computed tomography, upper endoscopy and colonoscopy confirmed that the stent penetrated the duodenum into the ascending colon. The stent was extracted by upper endoscopy, and the defects of the duodenum and ascending colon were closed by clips endoscopically. Discussion Bowel perforation due to biliary stent migration is a rare but severe complication. Risk factors for dislocation of stents include stent insertion for more than one month, wide stent, benigh diseases and longer stent. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive and safe meneuver to retrieve stent. Conclusion Patients inserted with long, wide and straight biliary stent for more than one month are at high risk of stent dislocation. Endoscopy is a minimally invasive and safe meneuver to retrieve stent, and should be considered as the first-line treatment.

Abstract
Plastic biliary stents can spontaneously dislodge from the common bile duct and migrate distally into the bowels. Most migrated plastic biliary stents get passed with stools without any complication. However, in rare cases, migrated biliary stents can cause bowel perforation requiring urgent intervention. We report a rare case of a 53-year-old woman presenting with severe lower abdominal pain secondary to migrated plastic biliary stent causing cecal perforation. Computed tomography revealed a radiopaque linear foreign body within the cecum. The patient underwent emergent laparoscopy with stent removal and was discharged 2 days later without long-term complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Proximal biliary plastic stent migration (PSM) remains a challenging complication. The study aims at determining the PSM rate, retrieval outcomes and factors associated with PSM. METHODS Endoscopy database was analyzed from January 2016 to January 2021 to identify 1137 patients, who underwent stent removal or repeat endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Demography, methods of stent retrieval, outcomes and complications were noted. Logistic regression was performed to determine risk factors for PSM. Propensity score matching was done in a 1:1 manner using age, sex, comorbidities and indication to assess endoscopy-related factors. Clinical trial registration done (CTRI/2022/02/040516). RESULTS PSM was noted in 74 (6.5%) cases. Stent retrieval was successful in 94.59% (70/74) of cases. A balloon catheter (46/74) was commonly used. Technical failure was due to an impacted stent (2) and stent above the stricture (2). Complications were seen in 2.7% of cases. On multi-variate regression, sphincteroplasty at index ERCP (Odds ratio [OR] = 5.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.7-11.89), stent length < 10 cm (OR = 8.53, 95% CI = 3.2-22.47), 7-Fr stent (OR = 18.25, 95% CI = 6.5-50.64), dilated bile duct (mean diameter- 9.2 ± 3.94 mm) (OR = 0.384, 95% CI = 0.18-0.72) and delayed ERCP by > 3 months from index ERCP (OR = 15.28, 95% CI = 8.1-28.49). After performing propensity score matching for age, sex, comorbidities and indication to determine endoscopy-related factors, 7-Fr stent size (OR 3.495; 95% CI-1.23-9.93) and duration of indwelling stent for more than three months (OR-3.37; 95% CI-1.646-6.76) were significantly associated with proximal stent migration. CONCLUSION Proximally migrated straight stents can be successfully retrieved using standard accessories. The use of 7-Fr size stent, stents indwelling for more than three months, sphincteroplasty at index ERCP, stent length < 10 cm and dilated bile duct were associated with increased risk of proximal migration of straight biliary plastic stents. After propensity score matching, the use of 7-Fr size stents and stent indwelling for over three months were endoscopy-related factors associated with proximal migration.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic biliary stenting is a standard treatment for biliary strictures after liver transplantation. Plastic stents are often replaced before stent dysfunction to prevent the development of cholangitis and jaundice. Therefore, the precise duration of stent patency is unclear. Methods We compared retrospectively the stent patency period and stent dysfunction rate between inside stents (IS) and conventional plastic stents (PS) in 48 patients with post-transplant strictures, distinguishing endoscopic biliary stenting with and without stent dysfunction at stent replacement. Results In observations focused on the first treatment, the median patency periods were 369 days for IS (n = 18) and 154 days for PS (n = 30; p = 0.01), significantly longer for IS. The 1-year cholangitis incidence rate was lower for IS (20% vs. 43%, p = 0.04). Additionally, no stent dislocation was observed for IS, but this occurred for 33.3% of PS (p = 0.004). Comparing all endoscopic biliary stenting, including second and subsequent procedures, IS again had a longer patency period than PS (356 days, n = 89, vs. 196 days, n = 127, p = 0.009). Conclusions IS had a significantly longer patency period than PS, suggesting that IS replacement could be reduced to once per year for patients who prefer less frequent stent replacement.

Abstract
55-year-old male with a history of cholecystectomy complicated by perforation of the common bile duct, contained with placement of a plastic biliary stent. He presented several subsequent episodes of recurrent cholangitis secondary to biliary lithiasis and residual benign stenosis of the common bile duct, resolved with the implantation of plastic biliary prostheses. Finally, given the recurrent episodes of cholangitis, it was agreed to perform a hepaticojejunostomy. During the operation, the last implanted stent was not detected, which was identified by CT scan of the abdomen, causing a fistulous tract between the duodenum and the ascending colon. The stent was removed endoscopically, without complications, and the fistulous tract was resolved.

Abstract
Biliary stents have been widely used to treat both malignant and benign biliary obstruction. Biliary stenting serves as a temporary measure to maintain ductal patency and promote bile drainage. Biliary decompression can help relieve clinical symptoms of pain, obstructive jaundice, pruritis, fat malabsorption, and failure to thrive and prevent disease progression, such as secondary biliary cirrhosis and end-stage liver failure. Endoscopic placement of biliary endoprosthesis is a minimally invasive procedure well tolerated by most patients but is not without problems. Multiple early and late complications have been reported in the literature and Computed Tomography (CT) is the most used modality to assess normal positions and evaluate patients suspected of stent complications. The aim of this article is to provide a review various of biliary stent related complications, as seen on CT. Current literature on risk factors, diagnosis and management is also discussed.

Abstract
This case report describes a patient who presented with cholangitis gallbladder sludge, choledocolithiasis, and biliary dilatation. The patient’s magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography demonstrated that the cystic duct had low and medial insertion on common bile duct. However, the patient presented with abdominal discomfort after the completion of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography stenting. Subsequent imaging revealed the proximal stent lying in the gallbladder lumen. The case highlights the importance of having the endoscopists recheck and confirm the positioning of the stent, post-procedure. In addition, it is important to raise awareness among physicians/gastroenterologists regarding the possibility of presence of biliary stent in gallbladder lumen, especially in those patients with a history of endoscopic biliary intervention(s).

Abstract
Bowel perforation of biliary stents is a rare complication of biliary stenting. We report the successful endoscopic treatment of a 78-year-old man with a straight biliary plastic stent perforating the ascending colon without underlying structural abnormality in the affected segment. Perforation was detected incidentally during computed tomography; the patient had been under continued antibiotic therapy for liver abscess. Stent extraction was performed by using an endoscopic snare; the site of perforation was closed with through-the-scope clips. The patient remained asymptomatic. In addition, we reviewed published cases of perforated biliary stents and outlined that most perforations are caused by straight plastic stents.

Proximal Biliary Stent Migration Causing Cardiac Tamponade. ACG Case Rep J 2023; 9:e00924. [PMID: 36628372 PMCID: PMC9820785 DOI: 10.14309/crj.0000000000000924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 10/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Plastic biliary stents are commonly placed during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for various indications, and stent-related complications are uncommon. We describe a case in which a plastic biliary stent migrated proximally through the liver capsule and diaphragm after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, leading to pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. It is important for clinicians managing patients with biliary stents to be aware of this significant adverse event.

Enteral extended biliary stents versus conventional plastic biliary stents for the treatment of extrahepatic malignant biliary obstruction: a single-center prospective randomized controlled study. Surg Endosc 2022; 36:8202-8213. [PMID: 35536485 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09265-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The main limitation of plastic stents is the relatively short stent patency due to occlusion. We designed enteral extended biliary stents with lengths of 26 cm (EEBS-26 cm) and 30 cm (EEBS-30 cm) to prolong stent patency. This study aimed to compare patency among EEBS-26 cm, EEBS-30 cm, and conventional plastic biliary stent (CPBS). METHODS A single-center prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. Eligible patients were randomized into the EEBS-26 cm, EEBS-30 cm, and CPBS groups, respectively. All patients were followed up every 3 months until stent occlusion, patient death, or at 12-month follow-up. The primary outcome was stent patency. The secondary outcomes included stent occlusion rate, patient survival, mortality, the rate of technical success, and adverse events. RESULTS Totally 117 patients were randomized into the three groups. There were no significant differences among the three groups in technical success rate, hospital stay, mortality, patient survival, and adverse events (P = 1.000, 0.553, 0.965, 0.302, and 0.427, respectively). Median stent patency durations in the EEBS-26 cm, EEBS-30 cm, and CPBS groups were 156.0 (95% CI 81.6-230.4) days, 81.0 (95% CI 67.9-94.1) days, and 68.0 (95% CI 20.0-116.0) days, respectively (P = 0.002). The EEBS-26 cm group had longer stent patency compared with the CPBS (P = 0.007) and EEBS-30 cm (P < 0.001) groups. The EEBS-26 cm group had lower stent occlusion rates compared with the other groups at 6 months (48.1% vs. 90.5% vs. 82.8%, P = 0.001) and 9 months (75.0% vs. 100.0% vs. 92.9%, P = 0.022). CONCLUSION EEBS-26 cm has prolonged stent patency and is safe and effective for the alleviation of unresectable extrahepatic malignant biliary obstruction.

Abstract
Background Fully covered intraductal self-expanding metal stents (IDSEMS) have been well described in the management of post-liver transplant (LT) anastomotic strictures (ASs). Their antimigration waists and intraductal nature make them suited for deployment across the biliary anastomosis. Objectives We conducted a multicentre study to analyse their use and efficacy in the management of AS. Design This was a retrospective, multicentre observational study across nine tertiary centres in the United Kingdom. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with IDSEMS insertion were analysed retrospectively. Recorded variables included patient demographics, procedural characteristics, response to therapy and follow-up data. Results In all, 162 patients (100 males, 62%) underwent 176 episodes of IDSEMS insertion for AS. Aetiology of liver disease in this cohort included hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 35, 22%), followed by alcohol-related liver disease (n = 29, 18%), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (n = 20, 12%), primary biliary cholangitis (n = 15, 9%), acute liver failure (n = 13, 8%), viral hepatitis (n = 13, 8%) and autoimmune hepatitis (n = 12, 7%). Early AS occurred in 25 (15%) cases, delayed in 32 (20%) cases and late in 95 (59%) cases. Age at transplant was 54 years (range, 12-74), and stent duration was 15 weeks (range, 3 days-78 weeks). In total, 131 (81%) had complete resolution of stricture at endoscopic re-evaluation. Stricture recurrence was observed in 13 (10%) cases, with a median of 19 weeks (range, 4-88 weeks) after stent removal. At removal, there were 21 (12%) adverse events, 5 (3%) episodes of cholangitis and 2 (1%) of pancreatitis. In 11 (6%) cases, the removal wires unravelled, and 3 (2%) stents migrated. All were removed endoscopically. Conclusion IDSEMS appears to be safe and highly efficacious in the management of post-LT AS, with low rates of AS recurrence.

Distal Biliary Stent Migration in Patients with Irretrievable Bile Duct Stones: Long-Term Comparison Between Straight and Double-Pigtail Stents. Dig Dis Sci 2022; 67:4557-4564. [PMID: 35305168 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-022-07461-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged biliary stenting may be considered in high-risk patients with irretrievable bile duct stones (IBDS). Distal stent migration (DSM) is a known complication, although data beyond the recommended interval of temporary stenting (3-6 months) are lacking. We compared the long-term incidence of DSM between straight and double-pigtail stents in patients with IBDS. METHODS Consecutive patients with IBDS undergoing plastic biliary stenting (1/2009-12/2019) were retrospectively reviewed. DSM was confirmed on follow-up examination when the stent was no longer present at the papillary orifice nor fluoroscopically visible in the bile duct. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to determine estimates and predictors of DSM. RESULTS Overall, 618 biliary stenting procedures (410 patients) were included: 289 with a straight stent (group A) and 329 with a double-pigtail (group B). By Kaplan-Meier analysis, the DSM rates were 8.4 and 14.6% at 6 months, 21.4 and 27.7% at 12 months, 27 and 43.5% at 18 months, and 37.2 and 60.4% at 24 months, for groups A and B, respectively (p = 0.004). Double-pigtail stents were at higher risk for DSM (HR = 7.38, p = 0.04), whereas an inverse correlation was noted with age (HR = 0.97, p = 0.0001). Considering only temporary stenting procedures (≤ 6 months; n = 297), the probability of DSM was not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS In a setting of prolonged stenting for IBDS, the probability of DSM appears to be higher when a double-pigtail stent is used and in younger patients. A relative anti-migratory advantage of double-pigtail over straight stents appears negligible in this study.

Abstract
Endobiliary stents placed for benign and malignant indications can spontaneously dislocate from the biliary system and migrate to the distal gastrointestinal tract. Stent migration can result in gastrointestinal perforation, with the most common locations in the sigmoid and distal colon, and may require surgical intervention. We describe the case of a 60-year-old female presenting with an ascending colonic perforation secondary to a dislodged plastic biliary stent placed for palliation of her gallbladder carcinoma. The patient was managed with a combined laparoendoscopic approach by a multidisciplinary team—gastroenterology performed an endoscopic stent retrieval and colorectal surgery identified the location of the perforation laparoscopically and performed colonic serosal repairs. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged on postoperative day 4. This case demonstrates a novel minimally invasive laparoendoscopic approach at a high-volume academic center for the treatment of ascending colonic perforation secondary to biliary stent migration.

Abstract
Benign biliary strictures (BBS) can be associated with several causes, with postoperative and inflammatory strictures representing the most common ones. Endoscopy represents nowadays the first-line treatment in the management of BBS. Endoscopic balloon dilatation, plastic stents placement, fully covered metal stent placement, and magnetic compression anastomosis are the endoscopic techniques available for the treatment of BBS. The aim of this study is to perform a review of the literature to assess the role of endoscopy in the management of BBS and to evaluate the application of the different procedures in the different clinical settings.

Abstract
Endoscopic biliary stent insertion is a well-established procedure that is indispensable in the management of various benign and malignant biliary disorders, and one that helps prevent mortality related to invasive surgical procedures. We report a rare case of the distal migration of a biliary stent outside the abdomen to the pericardium, inducing constrictive pericarditis and septic shock. This case alerts clinicians to be aware of potential adverse events that can lead to unfavorable patient outcomes. Such adverse events can be effectively avoided through early detection and intervention.

Abstract
Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography stenting is a well-established treatment for benign as well as malignant biliary obstruction. The most frequently encountered complication is stent clogging. Stent migration (proximal or distal), on the other hand, is not very common. Proximal migration of a choledochal endoprosthesis into the gallbladder has not yet been reported in the literature.

Abstract
RATIONALE Plastic endobiliary stents, after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, can get spontaneously dislocated from the common bile duct and migrate intothe distal bowel. Most migrated biliary stents are removed with the passing of stool. However, migrated biliary stents can cause bowel perforation, albeit rarely, and surgical intervention may be required. Recently, we observed a colonic diverticular perforation caused by a migrated biliary stent, and we have reported this case with a review of the literature. PATIENTS CONCERNS A 74-year-old man presented with severe right lower quadrant pain after biliary stent insertion 1month ago. DIAGNOSES Abdominal computed tomography revealed perforation of the proximal ascending colon by the migrated biliary stent, combined with localized peritonitis. INTERVENTIONS Emergency diagnostic laparoscopic examination revealed penetration of the proximal ascending colon by the plastic biliary stent, and right hemicolectomy was performed. OUTCOMES On pathological examination, colonic diverticular perforation by the biliary stent was confirmed. The patient was discharged without any additional complications. LESSONS Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography endoscopists must always be cautious of the possibility of stent migration in patients with biliary stents in situ. In cases of biliary stent dislocation from the common bile duct in asymptomatic patients, follow-up with serial, plain abdominal radiographs, and physical examination is needed until confirmation of spontaneous passage through stool. In symptomatic cases suggesting peritonitis, abdominal computed tomography scan confirmation is needed, and early intervention should be considered.

[PMID: 34798836 PMCID: PMC8603567 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-021-02014-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Accepted: 11/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Stent migration is one of the most common complications during the placement of multiple plastic biliary stents (MPBS) under endoscopy. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the fishing line assisted (FLA) method for preventing the complication. METHODS Patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (MHBO) who undergone endoscopic placement of MPBS using the FLA or conventional method from May 2018 to April 2021 in our center were enrolled in the study. The endpoints of this study were the stent migration rate, technical success rates, adverse events rates, times of stent migration, and the procedure time. RESULTS FLA group (N = 19) and conventional group (N = 22) had similar baseline characteristics of the patients. The technical success rates (100% vs. 95.5%; P > 0.05), ERCP-related adverse events rates (5.3% vs. 4.5%; P > 0.05), and the stent-related adverse events rates (0% vs. 4.5%; P > 0.05) were no significant differences between the FLA and conventional groups. MPBS inserted using the conventional method consumed more time (median, 33.9 min vs. 15.6 min; P < 0.05) method and increased the times of stent migration (median, 3 times vs. 0 times; P < 0.05) than using the FLA method. Even if no statistical difference was detected in the stent migration rate between groups, this rate was lower in the FLA group than the conventional group (0% vs. 13.6%; P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS FLA method is an effective technique for MPBS implantation to prevent stent migration during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP). The method should be applied to patients with unresectable MHBO who need to place MPBS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interventional internal drainage of the biliary tract has become an established procedure for the temporary and definitive treatment of biliary obstruction due to malignant or benign disease. The complication rate is reported to be so low that when feasible, this technique is preferred over a surgical drainage procedure. PRESENTATION OF A CASE A 26-year old woman was referred to the hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery service due to severe abdominal pain for 3 days after undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). She underwent biliary dilatation and stent insertion for obstructive jaundice secondary to biliary stricture from hepatobiliary tuberculosis. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy, peritoneal lavage, duodenorrhaphy and tube jejunostomy for bilious peritonitis and duodenal perforation from biliary stent migration. The patient died one day post-operation due to septic shock from secondary bacterial peritonitis. DISCUSSION ERCP and other interventional endoscopic biliary interventions are increasingly being used for biliary obstruction. Despite the various complications which arise from these diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, complications are relatively uncommon. Duodenal perforation from biliary stent migration is a rare complication after undergoing ERCP and stenting. However, in patients presenting with severe pain and physical signs of acute abdomen after the procedure, it should always be a consideration. CONCLUSIONS Despite the relative safety of interventional techniques for biliary obstruction, complications like pancreatitis, hemorrhage and perforation may occur. Early recognition and high index of suspicion allows for early intervention with good outcomes. Duodenal perforation from stent migration can occur and when intervention is delayed may lead to morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
An 86-year-old woman presented with a history of endoscopic papillary sphincterotomy for bile duct stones and diverticulitis. The patient was admitted as an emergency case of acute cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis, underwent endoscopic bile duct stenting, and was discharged with a plan for endoscopic lithotripsy. One month later, the patient was readmitted owing to abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography at admission showed that the bile duct stent had migrated to the sigmoid colon and the presence of a small amount of extraintestinal gas, suggesting a colonic perforation. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy showed adhesions and intestinal stenosis in the sigmoid colon, probably after diverticulitis, and the bile duct stent that had perforated the same site. The stent was removed and endoscopic closure of the perforation was performed using an over-the-scope clip. Abdominal computed tomography 8 days after the closure showed no extraintestinal gas. The patient resumed eating and was discharged on the 14th day of admission. There was no recurrence of abdominal pain. Endoscopic closure of sigmoid colon perforation due to bile duct stent migration using an over-the-scope clip has not been reported thus far, and it may be a new treatment option in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bowel perforation from biliary stent migration is a serious potential complication of biliary stents, but fortunately has an incidence of less than 1%. CASE SUMMARY We report a case of a 54-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of Human Immunodeficiency virus with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alcoholic liver cirrhosis, portal vein thrombosis and extensive past surgical history who presented with acute abdominal pain and local peritonitis. On further evaluation she was diagnosed with small bowel perforation secondary to migrated biliary stents and underwent exploratory laparotomy with therapeutic intervention. CONCLUSION This case presentation reports on the unusual finding of two migrated biliary stents, with one causing perforation. In addition, we review the relevant literature on migrated stents.

CLINICAL MEDICINE INSIGHTS-CASE REPORTS 2021; 14:11795476211043067. [PMID: 34483694 PMCID: PMC8411612 DOI: 10.1177/11795476211043067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: One of the methods for the biliary tree decompression in the case of Klatskin
tumor is transpapillary stenting, which could be completed by stent
migration in 4% to 10% of cases. Approximately half of the stent migrations
are in the proximal direction. In this study, we reported a rare case of
proximal trans-diaphragmatic stent migration to the lower lobe of the right
lung with the formation of a biliary-bronchial fistula (BBF). Case presentation: A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma (type 3B by
Bismuth-Corlette) complicated by posthepatic jaundice. To relieve jaundice
there were performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography,
endoscopic sphincterotomy, endobiliary stent placement (10 Fr, 150 mm). A
restenting (11.5 Fr, 130 mm) was performed in 2.5 months due to endobiliary
tube occlusion. In the next 2 months, coughing attacks and biliptysis have
appeared in the patient. A CT scan showed penetration of the liver,
diaphragm, and lower lobe of the right lung with the proximal part of the
stent and caused BBF formation. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapy
was administrated for 14 days and BBF was closed. Stent retrieval from the
right hemithorax and endobiliary restenting was performed in 9 months after
primary stenting. During follow-up, appropriate positioning and functioning
of the stent were observed. Conclusion: BBF formation is a rare complication of endobiliary stenting, which can be
successfully treated by anti-inflammatory and antibiotic therapy, followed
by transpapillary stent retrieval.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The frequency, risk factors as well as the sites of biliary stent migration are variable in the literature. This retrospective study investigated the frequency of biliary stent migration, why biliary stents migrated, how the migrated stents affected the patients, and what are the different techniques retrieved the migrated stents. PATIENTS AND METHODS Out of 876 stented patients, 74 patients (8.4%) had their stents migrated. Patients with and without migrated stents were compared regarding endoscopy and stent-related parameters. The sequels of stent migrations were reported. Furthermore, the methods used for stent retrieval were reviewed. RESULTS Proximal and distal stent migration occurred at a rate of 3 and 5.5%, respectively. The independent predictors for stent migration were moderate to marked common bile duct (CBD) dilation, complete sphincterotomy, the use of balloon dilation, and stent insertion for more than 1 month. Cholangitis and stent obstruction was the most commonly reported adverse event (n = 18, 24.3%). Distal stent migration associated with two cases of bleeding due to duodenal wall injury, and two cases of duodenal perforation. All the retained migrated stents in the current study were retrieved by endoscopy using extraction balloon, Dormia basket, snares, and foreign body forceps. CONCLUSION Biliary stent migration occurs at a rate of 8.4%. Stents do migrate because of dilated CBD, wide sphincterotomy, and biliary balloon dilation. Furthermore, wide, straight stents inserted for more than 1 month easily migrate. The migrated stents migrated intraluminal in the CBD, duodenum or the colon. All the retained migrated stents were retrieved endoscopically.

Abstract
An 80-year-old female presented with acute left-sided abdominal pain. Cross-sectional imaging demonstrated a contained perforation around a migrated biliary stent within a large incisional hernia. Significant surgical background included an open cholecystectomy complicated by bile leak and insertion of a biliary stent 2.5 years prior. The stent had migrated at the time of attempted retrieval 10 weeks post-insertion. A decision was made to pursue conservative management after which time she remained asymptomatic until her acute presentation. Emergency laparotomy, adhesiolysis, stent removal, small bowel resection and abdominal wall closure were successfully performed in this case. In the setting of the biliary stent migration, it is important to consider individual patient’s risk factors for acute perforation, such as intra-abdominal adhesions or diverticular disease, when deliberating conservative management versus elective surgical intervention for stent retrieval.

Abstract
Malignant hilar biliary obstruction (HBO) represents a complex clinical condition in terms of diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment, endoscopic approach, and palliation. The main etiology of malignant HBO is hilar cholangiocarcinoma that is considered an aggressive biliary tract's cancer and has still today a poor prognosis. Endoscopy plays a crucial role in malignant HBO from the diagnosis to the palliation. This technique allows the collection of cytological or histological samples, direct visualization of the suspect malignant tissue, and an echoendoscopic evaluation of the primary tumor and its locoregional staging. Because obstructive jaundice is the most common clinical presentation of malignant HBO, endoscopic biliary drainage, when indicated, is the preferred treatment over the percutaneous approach. Several endoscopic techniques are today available for both the diagnosis and the treatment of biliary obstruction. The choice among them can differ for each clinical scenario. In fact, a personalized endoscopic approach is mandatory in order to perform the proper procedure in the singular patient.

Abstract
Background and study aims Perforation of the duodenal wall opposing the major papilla due to a migrated pancreatobiliary stent rarely has been described in the literature as a complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Factors associated with perforation from migrated stents from ERCP are unknown. Patients and methods This was a retrospective, observational study. Patients were identified from January 1, 1994 to May 31, 2019 in a prospectively maintained ERCP database. Results Eleven cases of duodenal perforation from migrated pancreatobiliary stents placed at ERCP were identified during the study period. All cases involved biliary stents, placed for biliary stricture management. The perforating stent was plastic in 10 cases (91 %). This complication occurred in one in 2,293 ERCP procedures in which a pancreatobiliary stent was placed. Conclusion This complication is more common with biliary stents compared to pancreatic stents. This may be related to the angle of exit of biliary stents being more perpendicular to the opposing duodenal wall and the near exclusive use of external pigtail plastic stents in the pancreatic duct. All perforating plastic stents were ≥ 9 cm in length. Longer stents may provide leverage for perforation with a migration event.

Abstract
Plastic biliary stents are associated with rare but potentially life-threatening distal stent migration. We present 4 patient cases with distal migration, whereas the proximal aspect remained in the bile duct. Time to stent migration ranged from 1 week to 2 months. Stent migration caused contralateral duodenal wall perforation; 2 underwent endoscopic over-the-scope clip placement for defect closure. All required previous stent removal and stent exchange. This case series highlights that proximal stricture and longer stents have higher migration risk, also shown in the literature. We also show that duodenal perforation can successfully be managed endoscopically with an over-the-scope clip.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) is the most frequently performed procedure for treating benign or malignant biliary obstruction. Although duodenal perforations secondary to the biliary plastic stent are quite rare, they can be life-threatening. The treatment strategies for such perforations are diverse and continue to be debated. CASE PRESENTATION We report three cases of duodenal perforation due to the migration of biliary plastic stents that were successfully managed using an endoscope. The three patients were admitted on complaints of abdominal pain after they underwent ERBD. Abdominal computerized tomography (CT) revealed migration of the biliary plastic stents and perforation of the duodenum. Endoscopy was immediately performed, and perforation was confirmed. All migrated stents were successfully extracted endoscopically by using snares. In two of the three cases, the duodenal defects were successfully closed with haemostatic clips after stent retrieval, and subsequently, endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tubes were inserted. After the endoscopy and medical treatment, all three patients recovered completely. CONCLUSIONS Duodenal perforations due to the migration of biliary stents are rare, and the treatment strategies remain controversial. Our cases and cases in the literature demonstrate that abdominal CT is the preferred method of examination for such perforations, and endoscopic management is appropriate as a first-line treatment approach.

Abstract
Background and study aims Lateral duodenal wall perforation by a migrated stent is a potential complication of biliary stenting. By systematic database revision, we identified a series of six patients with lateral duodenal wall perforation caused by a displaced plastic biliary stent that were treated with over-the-scope clip (OTSC) between January 1, 2014 and March 31, 2019. In this series, most cases were related to stenting of benign strictures with single or double stenting and with the use of stents longer than 12 cm. OTSC permitted perforation closure in all cases. Most patients had an excellent outcome and did not need any subsequent intervention. However, one patient, who presented with a more severe pneumoretroperitoneum on computed tomography scan, required laparotomy with peritoneal lavage and eventually died due to this complication. We conclude that endoscopic treatment of these perforations with OTSC could be an effective alternative to surgery in selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors of duodenal injury from distal migrated biliary plastic stents remain uncertain. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors of distal migration and its related duodenal injury in patients who underwent placement of a single biliary plastic stent for biliary strictures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all patients with biliary strictures who underwent endoscopic placement of a single biliary plastic stent from January 2006 to October 2017. RESULTS Two hundred forty-eight patients with 402 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedures were included. The incidence of distal migration was 6.2%. The frequency of duodenal injury was 2.2% in all cases and 36% in cases with distal migration. Benign biliary strictures (BBS), length of the stent above the proximal end of the stricture (> 2 cm), and duration of stent retention (< 3 months) were independently associated with distal migration (p = 0.018, p = 0.009, and p = 0.016, respectively). Duodenal injury occurred more commonly in cases with larger angle (≥ 30°) between the distal end of the stent and the centerline of the patient's body (p = 0.018) or in cases with stent retention < 3 months (p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS The risk factors of distal migration are BBS and the length of the stent above the proximal end of the stricture. The risk factor of duodenal injury due to distal migration is large angle (≥ 30°) between the distal end of the stent and the centerline of the patient's body. Distal migration and related duodenal injury are more likely to present during the early period after biliary stenting.

Abstract
We describe the case of a 90-year-old female who presented with signs of a strangulated inguinal hernia. Further history revealed a paired biliary-pancreatic stent insertion three years prior for ascending cholangitis and a long-standing asymptomatic right inguinal hernia. Biochemistry revealed a slightly elevated C-reactive protein level of 65 mmol/L, but was otherwise unremarkable. Abdominal CT demonstrated two plastic biliary stents within an incarcerated right inguinal hernia. At the time of surgery, a 3-mm perforation due to the stents was identified in the small bowel within the hernia. The stents were retrieved via an enterotomy that was subsequently repaired with full-thickness interrupted sutures. A tissue-suture repair of the inguinal hernia was performed due to significant contamination of enteric contents in the operative field. The patient had an unremarkable recovery and was discharged four days after her operation. This is a very rare acute presentation of stent migration with only a handful of such reported cases in the literature. With the rising number of endoscopic biliary stenting procedures, these complications are likely to increase, and clinicians need to be aware of this possibility in patients with pre-existing hernias.

Abstract
Endoscopic biliary stenting is a well-recognised method of palliation of malignant biliary obstruction. Distal stent migration causing duodenal perforation is an uncommon complication of this procedure and is usually delayed. Early stent migration resulting in duodenal perforation is extremely rare and can be easily overlooked. We present a case of stent migration and resultant intraperitoneal duodenal perforation that occurred 24 hours following plastic stent insertion for a malignant biliary stricture in a 63-year-old woman. The patient required emergent abdominal laparoscopy with the placement of intraperitoneal drain, followed by endoscopic extraction of the stent and closure of the defect using a through-the-scope clip. This case report addresses intraperitoneal duodenal perforation secondary to early migration of biliary stents. Special emphasis is placed on the importance of prompt diagnosis and the use of endoclips in the management of this serious complication of endoprosthesis.

Abstract
The common bile duct stenting has been a common endoscopic procedure practiced worldwide for the treatment of benign or malignant bile duct obstruction. Although the procedure has shown a very low morbidity, it is not free from complications. Stent migration has been a common late complication seen in 10% of cases presenting with various manifestations depending on the site of impaction. Here, we present a rare case of distal stent migration with impaction in the sacral foramina due to perforation through sigmoid diverticula with review of literature.

Abstract
Duodenal perforations due to biliary stenting migration, although rare, can occur. We report a unique case of duodenal perforation due to a large in length plastic stent with no (or marginal) migration, which ended up in the root of the mesentery, explaining the normal laboratory values and minimal imaging findings observed. Any clinical symptom during the postprocedural period should raise the suspicion of a major complication and prompt quick management decisions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is used to manage biliary pathology in pediatric patients. Plastic biliary stents have been used in this population for obstructive lesions and bile leaks; however, they are sometimes not effective due to migration, occlusion, or ineffective sealing. Fully covered self-expanding metal stents (FCSEMS) have larger diameters making them more suitable for some situations. Their use in pediatrics has, however, not been defined. The aim of the present study is to describe our experience with FCSEMS at our institution. METHODS We present a series of all patients who underwent FCSEMS placement at Children's Hospital Colorado including 3 adolescents and 1 young adult with complex medical needs. RESULTS Patient age range was 12 to 24 years and the weight ranged between 36 and 75 kg. All patients underwent previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and 1 or more rounds of plastic stenting without adequate clinical response before consideration of FCSEMS placement. Indications included recalcitrant biliary anastomotic stricture after liver transplant, persistent bile leak after needle perforation, recurrent obstructive choledocholithiasis after cholecystectomy, and malignant biliary stricture. Sizes of FCSEMS depended on patient bile duct size and biliary pathology. Dwell time was 6 to 8 weeks. Three patients had resolution of biliary pathology after FCSEMS therapy. One patient had distal migration of FCSEMS necessitating repeat stenting. There were no adverse events from FCSEMS placement or removal. CONCLUSIONS FCSEMS therapy should be considered in appropriate pediatric patients when plastic biliary stents are not effective. Further studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of FCSEMS in the pediatric age group.
