A CASE ONF PANCREATIC STENT MIGRATION TREATED BY ENDOSCOPY

Abstract

A 53-year-old male had been treated in our center because of chronic relapsing pancreatitis with stricture of the rnain pancreatic duct. A plastic stent(8F)was used to manage this stricture. This pancreatic stent migrated into the distal pancreatic duct, but it was successfully removed with Soehendra stent retriever. The stent retrieval divice has a metal spiral tip with a central lumen allowing it to be fed over a guide wire. This technique is effective in the retrieval of migrated pancreatic stem.
