Stent migration is a rare complication of
biliary or pancreatic stenting and is seen in 5-10% of cases.1,4 Reasons of stent migration are not very clear.5 Stent migration causes a decreased drainage leading to stasis, infection or perforation of these ducts, as it is an intracorporeal foreign body.
In post-hoc analysis, gallbladder- and
biliary tract-related events were assessed.

Biliary and pancreatic stents have been used to establish patency of a pancreatic duct or obstructed bile.
Patients of benign and malignant
biliary duct obstruction can be a challenging clinical problem.
Additionally, none of the recurrent
biliary events occurred in those patients who did receive a cholecystectomy during the index hospitalization or within the first 30 days after discharge.
Cholecystectomy proved successful in treating the patients of
biliary colic and cholecystitis in 80-95% of patients with calculi.
The patient was scheduled to have an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) postoperatively for
biliary leakage that was detected on day 2 of the operation.
Swedish pharmaceutical company Calliditas Therapeutics AB (publ) revealed on Tuesday the receipt of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) orphan drug designation (ODD) for the treatment of primary
biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary
biliary cirrhosis.
In this study, we evaluated a long-term balloon indwelling technique that is able to induce larger diameter dilatation at the target benign
biliary stricture site while performing smaller skin and subcutaneous dilatation than the previously described methods.
The involvement of the
biliary system in parasitic infections may cause severe morbidity and, rarely, mortality due directly to the parasites or to related complications, even in childhood (1, 2).
