A 100-year-old man was admitted for vomit. He received endoscopic treatment for common bile duct stones six years previously. Computed tomography (CT) revealed that the biliary stent had migrated into the small bowel, causing bowel obstruction. On hospital day 26, enteroscopy was performed to remove the biliary stent. However, a few stones were attached to the stent and we could not remove the stent. On hospital day 32, he underwent surgery to remove the biliary stent.
Case 2 was a 96-year-old man who was admitted for vomit. He received endoscopic treatment for common bile duct stones six months previously. CT revealed the same situation as in case 1. We attempted to remove the biliary stent by enteroscopy, but were not successful. On hospital day 66, the biliary stent was discharged naturally.
