Implication

A case report reveals that gastroptosis raises the risk of stent migration in patients undergoing EUS-HGS, suggesting the need for careful preoperative assessment.

Key Points

The aim is to identify gastroptosis as a risk factor for stent migration after endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy.
Preoperative assessment using computed tomography to evaluate the hepaticogastric distance.
Reporting on a specific case of stent migration following EUS-HGS.
Postoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy to assess stomach positioning.
Stent migration occurred despite using a long stent.
Gastroptosis with excessive downward stomach extension was observed postoperatively.
Preoperative CT suggested an acceptable distance, highlighting the importance of recognizing stomach positioning.
