Endoscopic retrieval of a proximally migrated fully covered self-expandable metal stent using biopsy forceps with a guiding sheath cannula

Abstract

Transpapillary endoscopic biliary drainage is the gold standard for resolving malignant biliary obstruction. Stent migration occasionally occurs and is troublesome to retrieve. Yamamoto and colleagues report with accompanying video on the successful retrieval of a proximally migrated stent using biopsy forceps through a guiding sheath cannula.
