Title: Successful Removal of a Biliary Stent in the Jejunum Using Double-Balloon Enteroscopy. Author: Dooghaie Moghadam A, Razavi-Khorasani N, Eslami P, Saeedi S, Farokhi E, Moazzami B, Mehrvar A, Iravani S, Hashemi MR, Dooghaei Moghadam M. Journal: Galen Med J; 2020; 9():e1809. PubMed ID: 34466596. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Plastic biliary stent placement has been widely used as a safe approach for the management of hilar neoplasms or the dilation of benign biliary obstruction. Despite the complexity of this procedure, this approach is followed by a few complications. The incidence rate of stent migration is about 10%. In a majority of cases, the migrated stents are retained within the gastrointestinal tract and pass through the intestine with no complication or need for medical intervention. CASE REPORT: In this paper, we described the case of the migrated biliary stent with prolonged abdominal pain, which was removed successfully by using double-balloon. CONCLUSION: In the case of patient with prolonged abdominal pain and previous history of biliary stent placement, migration of stent should be considered as differential diagnosis and Double-Balloon Enteroscopy can be a safe approach in those cases.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
