Abstract

Placement of a pancreatic duct (PD) stent for prevention of post–endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP)^1–3 often necessitates a second procedure for stent removal, generally within 2–4 weeks to avoid stent occlusion or injury to the duct.⁴ These procedures are associated with increased costs and may result in procedure-related complications. Stents without internal anchoring flaps were developed to allow spontaneous migration into the duodenum,⁵ thus obviating the need for a repeat procedure. However, radiographic confirmation of a migrated stent can be challenging.⁶
