Difficult Endoscopic Retrieval of a Migrated Stent inside a Pseudocyst

Abstract

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided pseudocyst drainage can have complications such as bleeding, perforation, infection, and stent migration. We report a case of iatrogenic migration of stent inside a large dumbbell-shaped pseudocyst managed successfully with a difficult endoscopic retrieval procedure.
