Biliary stent migration as a cause of cardiac tamponade

Victor Lee et al. J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Biliary stent implantation is an established treatment of biliary strictures. Stent migration has been previously reported to cause bronchopleuralbiliary fistula. We report a case of pericardialbiliary fistula causing cardiac tamponade as a result of biliary stent migration which has been successfully treated with pericardiocentesis and biliary stent retrieval via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
