Sigmoid colonic perforation and pelvic abscess complicating biliary stent migration

Abstract: Endoscopically placed biliary stents are a well-established procedure for the treatment of benign and malignant causes of obstructive jaundice in patients unfit for definitive surgical intervention. Stent migration has been described, though in most instances the stent will pass or remain in the bowel lumen for extended periods of time. Only a few cases of clinically significant complications of stent migration have been reported. This is the first case report of a pelvic abscess complicating stenting for chol… Show more

“…Colonic perforation caused by biliary stent migration is rare. Although cases of colonic perforation have been reported [1][2][3][4], to our knowledge this is the first reported case in the literature of a patient with transluminal biliary stent injury to the colon presenting with symptoms of diverticulitis.…”

There have been reported cases of multiple complications due to migrated stents including bowel perforation [1], intraabdominal abscesses [6], fistula formation [7] and bowel obstruction [8].…”

“…Najczęstszym z nich jest niedrożność protezy wymagająca jej udrożnienia lub wymiany (54%) [2,3]. Migracja protezy jest zjawiskiem rzadszym (5-10%) [2,3] i polega na jej przemieszczeniu proksymalnie -do przewodów wątrobowych, lub dystalnie -do światła jelita.…”

“…Najczęstszym z nich jest niedrożność protezy wymagająca jej udrożnienia lub wymiany (54%) [2,3]. Migracja protezy jest zjawiskiem rzadszym (5-10%) [2,3] i polega na jej przemieszczeniu proksymalnie -do przewodów wątrobowych, lub dystalnie -do światła jelita. Czynnikiem ryzyka migracji protezy, niezależnie od kierunku przemieszczenia, jest łagodne zwężenie dróg żółcio-wych, natomiast dystalnej migracji sprzyja obecność zwężeń po cholecystektomii [2], zwężenie brodawki Vatera i niewykonanie sfinkterotomii [4,5], a proksymalnej -przewlekłe zapalenie trzustki i biliopatia wrotna [2].…”
