Abstract
Biliary endoprostheses continue to demonstrate their utility and simplicity in daily therapeutic endoscopy. However, the transient nature of these foreign bodies also underscores their potential detrimental effects even after successful deployment. Stent related factors, such as type, length and caliber offer potential avenues to minimize the risk of migration. However, a patient related factor such as the presence of prior abdominal surgeries makes it paramount for endoscopists to ascertain the location of a migrated stent. There is a ripe niche for continued research and development in biodegradable stents.
