Abstract:
Plastic biliary stents are associated with rare but potentially life-threatening distal stent migration. We present 4 patient cases with distal migration, whereas the proximal aspect remained in the bile duct. Time to stent migration ranged from 1 week to 2 months. Stent migration caused contralateral duodenal wall perforation; 2 underwent endoscopic over-the-scope clip placement for defect closure. All required previous stent removal and stent exchange. This case series highlights that proximal stricture and longer stents have higher migration risk, also shown in the literature. We also show that duodenal perforation can successfully be managed endoscopically with an over-the-scope clip.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
