“…To our knowledge, only a few reports have described stent migration or impaction beyond the pylorus, and no previous case of duodenal stent impaction has been reported [4,5,7]. Giovanni et al [5] described four cases of transpyloric stent migration; in three cases there was passage through the rectum and one patient underwent surgery because of stent impaction in the colon.…”

Delayed transpyloric impaction is a very rare complication of esophageal metallic stent placement. Authors report different endoscopic removal techniques, but none of these has been validated yet because of their variable success, time-consuming nature, and risk of perforation and hemorrhage. We report that a "wait-and-see" approach is a safe and effective policy in patients with permeable transpyloric impacted esophageal stents.

“…Giovanni et al [5] described four cases of transpyloric stent migration; in three cases there was passage through the rectum and one patient underwent surgery because of stent impaction in the colon. Begbie et al [7] reported one case of rectal impaction after esophageal stent migration, which was treated by surgery.…”

“…Esophageal stent migration is a common complication with an incidence of 14.6 % [1]. Distal migration of the stent can lead to complications such as intestinal obstruction and impaction [2,3]. Furthermore, it is more difficult to remove the stent from patients with a tumor-involved circumferential esophageal mucosa.…”

“…Metal stents may become enmeshed in the tumor making migration unlikely. However, stent fracture and consequent migration [3] and rectal bleeding caused by a migrated stent [4] have been reported with SEMS. This is the first report of a displaced esophageal plastic stent with asymptomatic migration through the entire gastrointestinal tract, finally presenting in the anus filled with stool and causing stool retention.…”
