Case description

This 73 year-old male underwent placement of a biliary stent due to Klatskin’s tumors in another clinic. Endoscopic plastic biliary stenting is a common procedure in the management of benign biliary pathology. Complications from biliary stenting are rare, with stent occlusion being the most common. Another late complication of long-term biliary stenting is stent migration, which occasionally can result in bowel perforation and obstruction.
