Abstract
Delayed esophageal metallic stent migration after a neo-adjuvant therapy of advanced esophageal cancer is a relatively frequent event, which is sometimes due to tumor response to chemotherapy.
Stent migration in the stomach is usually asymptomatic but it can cause potentially life-threatening complications as bowel obstruction or perforation.
Most gastric migrations can be managed endoscopically; however endoscopic stent removal could also be a risky procedure due to hemorrhage or esophageal perforation.
This case report describes a safe and quick endoscopic method to remove a migrated esophageal metallic stent from the stomach using a protection hood mounted on the tip of the endoscope.
