Overview

Pancreatobiliary stent migration is not a common complication, mostly without serious consequences, but sometimes causing intestinal perforation. The authors describe migration of the DB stent into the sigmoid with subsequent completely asymptomatic perforation of the bowel wall. Due to the patient’s clinical condition and age, the perforation was successfully treated endoscopically.

Keywords:

ERCP – perforation – complications – migration – biliary stent
