Anchored Proximmally Migrated Pancreatic Stent: Endoscopic Technical Tips for Extraction
Internal migration of pancreatic stents (IMPS) occurs in 5 % of cases with successful endoscopic removal in 80 %. A 31 yo male who suffered IMPS, was referred to our centre after several retrieval attempts. Pancreatography showed ductal stenosis distally to the IMPS. After dilatation of the stenosis, the IMPS was grasped using the Lasso technique, but it was fixed to the pancreatic duct for a calcification precluding removal. After several unsuccessful maneouvers, a second stent was placed in order to break the anchoring calcification, which was confirmed in a subsequent ERCP. The Lasso technique was completed and the IMPS retrieved.
