In the present case with lower bile duct cancer, an endoscopic ultrasound-guided hepaticogastrostomy (EUS-HGS) was placed because of repeated obstructions of biliary metallic stent. However, when the HGS was occluded, transpapillary duodenoscopic procedure was again required. During this transpapillary procedure, including biliary balloon cleaning and metallic stent deployment, the HGS stent was dislocated into the stomach. Fortunately, due to the complete fistulization, no bile peritonitis was recognized and an HGS stent could be replaced from the gastric wall three days later. Current case report alarms a risk of HGS stent dislocation when conducting endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)-associated procedures after the placement of an HGS stent.
