A broken biliary stent is a rare complication in patients with benign strictures. This case highlights the risks associated with long-term internal biliary stenting for non-cancerous conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Endoscopy
  • Biliary Interventions

Background:

  • Biliary stent placement is a standard procedure for malignant biliary obstruction.
  • Its use for benign biliary strictures is less common but employed for long-term management.
  • Benign strictures may require prolonged indwelling of biliary stents.

Observation:

  • A rare complication involving a fractured intracholedochal stent is presented.
  • The stent was initially placed to manage a benign post-operative biliary stricture.
  • The fracture occurred during the period of long-term indwelling.

Findings:

  • Internal biliary stents, while effective, can fracture over extended periods.
  • Stent fragmentation can lead to complications requiring further intervention.

  • This case underscores the potential mechanical failure of biliary stents.

    • Implications:

    • Long-term indwelling biliary stents for benign conditions carry a risk of mechanical failure.
    • Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of stent fracture in prolonged stenting cases.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize long-term stent materials and management strategies for benign biliary strictures.
