Mary McCormick is a graduate student at Tufts University. She is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in education, focusing on mathematics, science, technology, and engineering education. She received a B.S. from University of Massachusetts, Lowell, in civil engineering, and an M.S. from Tufts University in civil engineering. Her current research involves seeing the engineering thinking and doing in chi...

pancreatic stent proximal migration is a well known complication of pancreatic duct stenting, which occurs in about 5-6% of cases. serious complications should be avoided by retrieval of the stent via different endoscopic techniques. we report a new technique previously reported only once (in a pancreatic duct with underlying pathology), to remove the proximally migrated pancreatic stent in a n...
