Abstract:
The endoscopic placement of stents to decompress biliary obstruction is accepted practice in the management of malignant biliary strictures. In our patient, a 73-year-old man with a presumed malignant common hepatic duct stricture, palliation of his obstructive jaundice has been achieved. However, his clinical course was complicated by a colonic perforation--a previously unreported complication of distal stent migration.
