ABSTRACT
A self-expanding metal stent is an effective treatment for biliary stenosis, improving obstructive jaundice and maintaining the long term patency of the bile duct. The complications of the metal stent are a perforation, distal migration, restenosis and duodenal mucosa injury from the contralateral wall impaction or trauma. However, the metal stent is a relatively permanent device and its removal is technically challenging. We report a case of protrusion of biliary stents into the duodenal lumen of a distal common bile duct cancer patients that was managed successfully by endoscopic argon plasma laser trimming.
