Article Synopsis
- A 74-year-old woman with acute calculous cholangitis underwent ERCP and a pancreatic stent (PS) was placed to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis after difficult cannulation.
- During the procedure, an endoscopic papillary balloon dilation caused the stent to migrate into the main pancreatic duct (MPD).
- The migrated stent was successfully removed in a follow-up ERCP two days later, highlighting the potential risks of stent migration with early placement during ERCP procedures.
