Core Tip
Core tip: Stent migration is a rare complication of pancreatic stenting. Especially, proximal migration presents a serious condition because of subsequent pancreatic duct obstruction, impaired drainage, and pancreatic pain. We described a case of symptomatic pancreatic duct obstruction caused by proximally migrated pancreatic stent that was successfully treated by endoscopic ultrasound-guided pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) while keeping the former stent in situ. To the best of our knowledge, EUS-PD has never been reported for relief of pancreatic duct obstruction caused by proximally migrated pancreatic stent, and this report adds to the increasing evidence of the safety and effectiveness of EUS-PD.
