Implication

Case report reveals successful retrieval of a migrated plastic stent in a patient with duodenal obstruction, indicating the importance of imaging guidance.

Key Points

To highlight a rare complication of plastic stent migration during endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy.
Case report of a 66-year-old woman with duodenal obstruction undergoing EUS-HGS.
Fluoroscopic guidance was utilized exclusively for stent placement.
A metal stent was placed to create a wider drainage tract after the migration incident.
The dedicated plastic stent was inadvertently deployed into the peritoneal cavity.
A guidewire successfully accessed the migrated plastic stent, allowing retrieval through the metal stent.
The postoperative course was uneventful, reinforcing the need for comprehensive imaging.
