ABSTRACT

Despite its effectiveness in the treatment of malignant tumors, bevacizumab is associated with a variety of side effects such as the formation of fistulas (i.e., tracheoesophageal, colovaginal, or rectovaginal). It is important to recognize immediately the emergence of this entity in order to discontinue bevacizumab permanently and treat the fistula.

An alternative method of endoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated biliary plastic stent using a "sphincterotome hooking the stent" technique.
