Terminal Ileum Perforation as a Consequence of a Migrated and Fractured Oesophageal Stent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Covered self-expanding metallic stents are commonly employed to relieve malignant oesophageal obstruction. We report a case of a patient with oesophageal cancer treated by stent insertion and curative chemoradiotherapy with subsequent stent migration to the stomach. The stent fractured with the distal fragment migrating as far as the terminal ileum where it caused perforation of the bowel.

Oesophageal stent migration following Billroth I gastrectomy: an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction
We report the case of an elderly female patient with a history of a previous Billroth I gastrectomy who presented with small bowel obstruction secondary to a migrated oesophageal stent. This patient had an iatrogenic oesophageal perforation following therapeutic endoscopy for a benign stricture 4 months prior to presentation. This was treated endoscopically with a covered stent that was not rem...
متن کاملMigratory Stent Leading to Ileal Perforation Less Known Complication of Therapeutic ERCP
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has a vital role in the diagnosis and management of various biliary and pancreatic diseases but is also associated with adverse events. Commonly seen complications are pancreatitis, bleeding, cholangitis, cholecystitis, postspinchterotomy strictures and perforation. Migration of stents, which is more with plastic stents, is a well-known comp...
متن کاملPercutaneous retrieval of a biliary stent after migration and ileal perforation
We present a case of a migrated biliary stent that resulted in a distal small bowel perforation, abscess formation and high grade partial small bowel obstruction in a medically stable patient without signs of sepsis or diffuse peritonitis. We performed a percutaneous drainage of the abscess followed by percutaneous retrieval of the stent. The entero-peritoneal fistula closed spontaneously with ...

required because of persistent leakage from perforated ulcers or if the perforations are larger than 2–3 cm. Common alternatives are a novel Graham patch closure, Billroth procedure, jejunal serosal patch, and duodenojejunostomy with a Roux-en-Y anastomosis [1,2]. Many of these are complicated surgical procedures which require prolonged general anesthesia. Our patient, an 81-year-old man, was a...
متن کاملLoss of fractured part of a proximally migrated esophageal stent through vomiting.
Placement of self-expanding, coveredmetal stents is the first choice of management in the palliative therapy of unresectable esophageal cancer. These stents have a much higher rate of stent migration (27% compared with 8.7% of uncovered stents), and migration occurs more often at the gastroesophageal junction as the distal part of the stent is not fixed to the esophagealwall andprojects freely ...
