A RARE CASE OF BILIARY PLASTIC STENT OBSTRUCTION BY PANCREATIC PLASTIC STENT MIGRATION: A CASE REPORT

The most frequent long-term complications of the endoscopy plastic stents are occlusion and migration. We describe a rare case of pancreatic plastic stent migration inside a biliary plastic stent. We found no similar cases reported in the literature. In this case the pancreatic stent was able to pass through the distal flap and, supported by sludge, to occlude both the distal tip and distal hole of an Amsterdam-type biliary stent. The present case report underlines the importance of the patient's follow-up with a particular focus on plastic stent management.
