Transpapillary Retrieval of a Proximally Migrated Stent Using a Three-prong Polyp Retrieval Device in a 2-years-old Girl

Abstract

Endoscopic retrieval of proximally migrated biliary stents is sometimes challenging. We report on the successful use of a three-prong colon polyp retrieval device in a two year old child.
