Trimming of a Migrated Biliary Nitinol Stent Using Argon Plasma
Metallic stent migration is a well-known complication which cannot always be managed by removal or repositioning, especially in case of uncovered stent. We report a patient who developed obstructive jaundice due to migration of an expandable metallic stent (EMS) inserted in the lower bile duct. Trimming of the EMS using argon plasma was performed, with the power setting of 60 W and 2.0 l/min of...
متن کاملSuccessful re-intervention with metal stent trimming using argon plasma coagulation after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy.
Recently, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)guided biliary drainage has been introduced as an alternative method after failed endoscopic biliary drainage, particularly in patients with a pre-existing duodenal obstruction [1–3]. A longer self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is usually used for EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) to prevent stent migration. However, re-intervention after EUS-HGS is c...
متن کاملEndoscopic Removal of a Proximally Migrated Metal Stent during Balloon Sweeping after Stent Trimming
Placement of a self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) is an effective method for palliation of a malignant biliary obstruction. However, metal stents can cause various complications, including stent migration. Distally migrated metal stents, particularly covered SEMS, can be removed successfully in most cases. Stent trimming using argon plasma coagulation may be helpful in difficult cases despite co...
متن کاملTissue hyperplasia following placement of a biodegradable stent for a refractory esophageal stricture: treatment with argon plasma coagulation.
A 36-year-old woman presented with high grade peptic stenosis in the distal esophagus (●" Fig.1). After three consecutive sessions of steroid injection/dilation with disappointing results, a biodegradable polydioxanone esophageal stent (SXElla-BD, 25×80 mm; Ella-CS, r. s.o., Hradec Kràlové, Czech Republic) was inserted (●" Fig.2). The patient experienced retrosternal pain for a short period of ...
متن کاملGas explosion caused by argon plasma coagulation of colonic angiodysplasias.
established tool to treat lesions of the gastrointestinal mucosa, such as angio− dysplasias [1]. Cases of colon perforation after gas explo− sion caused by APC have been recorded since 1976 [2], especially after prepara− tion with mannitol [3], which seemed to increase hydrogen gas production. Newer data suggest that stools remaining in an incompletely cleaned bowel may be the main cause for ex...
