Difficult Endoscopic Retrieval of a Migrated Stent inside a Pseudocyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided pseudocyst drainage can have complications such as bleeding, perforation, infection, and stent migration. We report a case of iatrogenic migration of stent inside a large dumbbell-shaped pseudocyst managed successfully with a difficult endoscopic retrieval procedure.

Wire-Guided Endoscopic Snare Retrieval of Proximally Migrated Pancreatic Stents after Endoscopic Papillectomy for Ampullary Adenoma
With the increasing use of pancreatic duct (PD) stents after endoscopic papillectomy (EP), complications such as proximal migration of the stent have become increasingly prevalent. A PD stent that migrates within a nondilated PD may be difficult to remove endoscopically. We performed endoscopic retrieval of proximally migrated PD stents after EP in 5 patients. Endoscopic retrieval was performed...
متن کاملEndoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated biliary plastic stent using a guidewire loop technique.
Endoscopic biliary stent placement is a well-established technique for various indications including biliary drainage. However, it has been shown that approximately 5% of plastic stents placed in the biliary tract migrate proximally [1]. Endoscopic retrieval of proximally migrated biliary stents is technically challenging and occasionally unsuccessful. Several techniques for retrieving proximal...
متن کاملSoehendra stent retriever--a useful device for pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
A 52-year-old patient with chronic pancreatitis was admitted for drainage of two symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) showed pseudocysts in the pancreatic body and head of 50×40mm and 30×20mm in size, respectively. We first performed transgastric drainage of the pancreatic body pseudocyst, using a lumen-apposing stent. In the same session, we approached the pancr...
متن کاملEndoscopic retrieval of a migrated stent after endoscopic ultrasound-guided choledochoduodenostomy.
choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) is reported with increasing frequency [1]. While stent migration into the bile duct is a possible complication of EUS-CDS, it has not previously been reported. We describe a case of complete stent migration into the bile duct, where the stent was successfully retrieved by inserting an endoscope directly into the bile duct after balloon dilation of the duodenal f...
متن کاملEndoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated pancreatic stent: variation of the lasso technique.
retrieve proximally migrated pancreatic stents [1,2]. The lasso technique involves inserting a guide wire through the lumen of the migrated stent followed by insertion of a partially opened polypectomy snare over the wire to grasp the stent [3]. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman with recurrent acute biliary pancreatitis, who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERC...
