Abstract:
Endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage is a well-established, minimally invasive procedure for treating biliary obstructions caused by malignant or benign diseases. Although there is a low rate of complications with biliary stenting, late complications of stent migration can occur, occasionally resulting in bowel inflammation, obstruction or perforation. We report a case of a migrated biliary stent that induced an obstruction of the colon following ERBD in the stricture of hepatic ducts after a liver transplant, and was removed endoscopically
