Migrated endoclip and stone formation after cholecystectomy： A new danger of acute pancreatitis

Endoclip migration into the common bile duct following laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） is an extremely rare complication. Migrated endoclip into the common bile duct can cause obstruction, serve as a nidus for stone formation, and cause cholangitis. We report a case of obstructive jaundice and acu...

Description
Summary:Endoclip migration into the common bile duct following laparoscopic cholecystectomy （LC） is an extremely rare complication. Migrated endoclip into the common bile duct can cause obstruction, serve as a nidus for stone formation, and cause cholangitis. We report a case of obstructive jaundice and acute biliary pancreatitis due to choledocholithiasis caused by a migrated endoclip 6 mo after LC. The patient underwent early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography （ERCP） with endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction.
