Summary: 

  • 55 year-old patient with a tight esophageal structure had placement of two fully covered metal stents, both of which had migrated distally
  • Endoscopic examination revealed one stent had migrated proximally and the other was in the stomach
  • Rat tooth forceps were used to remove the first stent without problems
  • A second dilation was performed with a balloon and the stent was pulled into an over tube at the level of the stricture with a cap, preventing any lacerations or perforations
  • Esophagogram was performed to check the integrity of the dilating side
  • Triple combination of through the scopaline, transparent cap and over tube was used to remove the stent safely
