Abstract
Endoscopic biliary stenting is an established modality of managing benign and malignant obstructive disorders of biliary tract. Complications associated with biliary stents though uncommon are on the rise. We report a case of migrated biliary plastic stent presenting as gastro-inetstinal hemorrhage, which was managed successfully by endoscopic technique avoiding any major surgery.
