Video Transcription

Video Summary

This case series presents two cases of successful intrapancreatic ductal foreign body retrievals using unique strategies. In the first case, a fractured pancreatic duct stent was retrieved by using a stent introducer catheter as a conduit for retrieval devices. Different tools were attempted, including a snare, rat tooth forceps, and a dilating balloon, but ultimately a stent retriever was successfully used to withdraw the fractured piece of the stent. In the second case, the fractured tip of a stent retriever was retrieved from the ansa loop after multiple devices failed to pass through the tight stricture. Balloon dilation and cholangioscopy were utilized for successful retrieval. Both patients had successful outcomes and did not require further intervention.
