Removal of Broken Pancreatic Stent Balloon Catheter; the Pancreatic Stent Complication

Pancreatic duct stent placement is a procedure which is performed in chronic pancreatitis in order to palliation of pain. In patients with dilate pancreatic ducts and stones, migrations or fractures of the stents may rarely ocur. In such cases endoscopic methods can be used as first plan treatment. However, in case of failure serious problems can be confront. Here, we presented a case in which stent was inserted into pancreatic canal. The stent was broken in the lumen and then removed with a balloon catheter.
