Spontaneous Fracture of Plastic Stents: A Rare Complication of Long-Term Indwelling Transmural Endoprosthesis
Abstract: Permanent indwelling transmural stents is a safe and effective strategy for prevention of recurrence of pancreatic fluid collections following successful endoscopic transmural drainage of walled-off necrosis (WON) with coexistent disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS). Long-term studies have shown this strategy to be safe and effective with rarely reported adverse effects. In this case series, we describe three patients of successfully treated WON and DPDS presenting later with a rare complication of permanent indwelling transmural plastic stents.
