Guo CY, Wei YX. Splenic subcapsular hematoma following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: A case report and review of literature. World J Clin Cases 2024; 12:5613-5621. [DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v12.i24.5613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Splenic injury following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a rare complication. The literature contains around 30 articles reporting various degrees of splenic injuries resulting from ERCP since the first report of splenic rupture after ERCP in 1989.
CASE SUMMARY This report describes a case of splenic hematoma and stent displacement in a 69-year-old male patient who developed these conditions 7 days after undergoing ERCP and stenting. The patient had bile duct stenosis caused by a malignant tumor that was obstructing the bile duct. The diagnosis was confirmed by epigastric computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage, endoscopic pyloric stent placement, and conservative management. The causes of splenic injury following ERCP are discussed.
CONCLUSION ERCP has the potential to cause splenic injury. If a patient experiences symptoms such as abdominal pain, decreased blood pressure, and altered hematology after the procedure, it's important to be thoroughly investigated for postoperative bleeding and splenic injury.

Bowel Perforation Caused by Biliary Stent Migration After ERCP: A Systematic Review. J Clin Gastroenterol 2024:00004836-990000000-00320. [PMID: 39008570 DOI: 10.1097/mcg.0000000000002029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
GOALS This systematic review aims to evaluate the risk factors, clinical features, and outcomes of bowel perforation caused by stent migration after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). BACKGROUND Distal migration of biliary stents can occur after ERCP. Upon migration, most stents pass through the intestine without adverse events; however, bowel perforation has been reported. STUDY A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was conducted through October 2023 for articles that reported bowel perforation because of stent migration. Cases of incomplete stent migration and proximal stent migration were excluded. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines to identify full-length articles in English reporting. RESULTS Of 2041 articles retrieved on the initial search, 92 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 132 cases of bowel perforation occurred due to stent migration after ERCP (56.1% female; average age: 66 y). The median time from initial ERCP to perforation was 44.5 days (IQR 12.5-125.5). Most cases of perforation occurred in the small bowel (64.4%) compared with the colon (34.8%). Stents were mostly plastic (87.1%) with a median diameter of 10 Fr (IQR 8.5-10) and median length of 10.3 cm (IQR 715). Surgical management was pursued in 52.3% and endoscopic management in 42.4%. Bowel resection was required for 25.8% of patients. The overall mortality rate was 17.4%. CONCLUSION In summary, this study demonstrates that bowel perforation after ERCP stent migration primarily occurs within 44.5 days and most frequently with a 10 Fr plastic biliary stent. The overall mortality rate was 17.4%. It is important for endoscopists to be mindful of this rare but serious adverse event.

Penetration of duodenal wall by proximal end of biliary straight plastic stent in a patient with ampullary carcinoma. DEN OPEN 2024; 4:e337. [PMID: 38264463 PMCID: PMC10803890 DOI: 10.1002/deo2.337] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/14/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024]
Abstract
A 70-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal discomfort. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ampullary tumor, while a biopsy revealed a pathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma. No distant metastases were observed and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection were planned. Shortly thereafter, she developed obstructive jaundice due to the ampullary carcinoma. The patient underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, during which a straight plastic stent was placed in the bile duct. The patient was discharged without complications. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was initiated. Two months later, she was readmitted for surgery while asymptomatic. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was scheduled to replace the stent with a nasobiliary drainage tube for the surgery. Endoscopic imaging revealed that the proximal end of the stent had penetrated the duodenum on the oral side of the ampullary carcinoma. The distal end of the stent was grasped with forceps and the stent was successfully removed. A catheter was inserted into the bile duct orifice and cholangiography was performed, which revealed that the distal bile duct and the duodenum had formed a fistula. A guidewire was placed in the bile duct via the papilla and a nasobiliary drainage tube was placed. After endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, the patient exhibited smooth progress without issue. Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed on the fourth day after the nasobiliary drainage tube placement, and the patient's postoperative course was uneventful. The proximal end of a biliary stent penetrating the duodenal wall is an infrequent phenomenon. This case report highlights a rare but noteworthy adverse event associated with straight biliary plastic stent placement.

Abstract
Bowel perforation of biliary stents is a rare complication of biliary stenting. We report the successful endoscopic treatment of a 78-year-old man with a straight biliary plastic stent perforating the ascending colon without underlying structural abnormality in the affected segment. Perforation was detected incidentally during computed tomography; the patient had been under continued antibiotic therapy for liver abscess. Stent extraction was performed by using an endoscopic snare; the site of perforation was closed with through-the-scope clips. The patient remained asymptomatic. In addition, we reviewed published cases of perforated biliary stents and outlined that most perforations are caused by straight plastic stents.

Abstract
Endoscopic biliary decompression is a minimally invasive procedure for cholestasis since the first endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography-guided biliary stenting performed by Soehendra and Reynders-Frederix. Among the endoscopic biliary decompression, endoscopic transpapillary biliary stenting (EBS), is a mainstream choice and presently has two methods of placement: stenting above the sphincter of Oddi (SO) (suprapapillary) and stenting across the SO (transpapillary). Stent patency is the most important concern for patients, endoscopists and physicians because it can affect both the life prognosis and treatment schedule of patients. Biliary stent occlusion can occur because of several factors. Among them, direct food impaction, biofilm formation, and sludge formation play important roles and are presumed to be theoretically overcome by EBS above the SO. Thus, EBS above the SO is expected to result in a longer patency than EBS across the SO. In the literature, there have been six comparative studies on EBS for distal biliary obstruction in which the stent was placed above or across the SO, including two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with negative results of stenting above the SO. With respect to EBS for hilar biliary obstruction, there have been no RCTs, whereas four retrospective comparative studies with negative results and four retrospective comparative studies showing positive results of stenting above the SO have been reported. In this review, we focused on EBS above and across the SO, and summarized the positive and negative results of the two types of stenting to promote effective clinical practice and to provide a basis for future studies.

Successful endoscopic closure with an over-the-scope clip for sigmoid colon perforation due to bile duct stent migration. Clin J Gastroenterol 2021; 15:157-163. [PMID: 34716544 PMCID: PMC8858274 DOI: 10.1007/s12328-021-01544-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/22/2021] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
An 86-year-old woman presented with a history of endoscopic papillary sphincterotomy for bile duct stones and diverticulitis. The patient was admitted as an emergency case of acute cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis, underwent endoscopic bile duct stenting, and was discharged with a plan for endoscopic lithotripsy. One month later, the patient was readmitted owing to abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography at admission showed that the bile duct stent had migrated to the sigmoid colon and the presence of a small amount of extraintestinal gas, suggesting a colonic perforation. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy showed adhesions and intestinal stenosis in the sigmoid colon, probably after diverticulitis, and the bile duct stent that had perforated the same site. The stent was removed and endoscopic closure of the perforation was performed using an over-the-scope clip. Abdominal computed tomography 8 days after the closure showed no extraintestinal gas. The patient resumed eating and was discharged on the 14th day of admission. There was no recurrence of abdominal pain. Endoscopic closure of sigmoid colon perforation due to bile duct stent migration using an over-the-scope clip has not been reported thus far, and it may be a new treatment option in the future.
