  • Title: Biliary stent migration as a cause of cardiac tamponade.
    Author: Lee V, Woldman S, Meier P.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown); 2013 Oct; 14(10):750-2. PubMed ID: 23996010.
    Abstract:
    Biliary stent implantation is an established treatment of biliary strictures. Stent migration has been previously reported to cause bronchopleuralbiliary fistula. We report a case of pericardialbiliary fistula causing cardiac tamponade as a result of biliary stent migration which has been successfully treated with pericardiocentesis and biliary stent retrieval via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
