Endoprostheses are commonly used in the treatment of biliary and pancreatic disorders. Fully-covered metal stents are intended for the palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree. We report a case of a patient affected by cancer of the pancreas who was treated with a proximal metallic biliary stent. The stent migrated to the oesophagus and was endoscopically removed. Proximal migration, although rare, should be kept in mind as a potential complication of the procedure.
内假体常用于治疗肝胆和胰腺疾病。全覆膜金属支架用于缓解胆道恶性狭窄。我们报告了一例胰腺癌症患者使用近端金属胆道支架治疗的病例。支架迁移到食管并经内镜取出。尽管近端迁移很少见，但应将其视为该手术的潜在并发症。
