This 55 year old lady had a plastic stent placed for an unresectable ampullary tumor a month back. It had gotten blocked with debris and she had developed cholangitis. We decided to remove the plastic stent and place a metallic stent. A significantly dilated CBD was seen on ERCP (A: white arrow). A partially covered self expanding metallic stent (Wallstent. Boston Scientific) of 6 cm length and 10mm diameter was deployed (B & C: white arrows. D1 & D2 show the duodenal end of the deployed stent).
