  • Title: Migrated biliary stent predisposing to fatal ERCP-related perforation of the duodenum.
    Author: Paikos D, Gatopoulou A, Moschos J, Soufleris K, Tarpagos A, Katsos I.
    Journal: J Gastrointestin Liver Dis; 2006 Dec; 15(4):387-8. PubMed ID: 17205153.
    Abstract:
    ERCP may be associated with very serious and even fatal complications. Internal drainage with endoscopical prostheses has been used as a palliative treatment for malignant bile duct obstruction. We report a rare case of subcutaneous emphysema with a fatal outcome. The emphysema resulted from a perforation of a duodenal ulcer during ERCP due to a migrated biliary stent that had been previously endoscopically placed.
