  • Title: Necrotizing fasciitis: fatal complication of migrated biliary stent.
    Author: Marsman JW, Hoedemaker HP.
    Journal: Australas Radiol; 1996 Feb; 40(1):80-3. PubMed ID: 8838897.
    Abstract:
    The major drawbacks of biliary stents are occlusion and migration. Most distally migrated stents pass spontaneously. In the presented case, however, the migrated stent perforated the sigmoid colon and led to necrotizing fasciitis.
