Dislodged biliary stent causes lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage four years postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Abstract

Endoscopic biliary stent placement is an efficient method for the decompression of the biliary system in various benign and malignant causes. Dislocation and stent migration is a well-known complication, with most displaced stents passing through the bowel, uneventfully. Rarely, migrated stents can be accounted for potentially life-threatening complications.
