Description
Satoshi Ito and co-authors report a rare mishap during an ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage: the stent meant for the gallbladder landed in a cyst on the right kidney. The drainage procedure is a valued option when surgery is too risky, and it is generally considered safe. Complications still occur, and this one had not been described.
The patient was a seventy-two-year-old woman with an unresectable bile duct cancer who developed acute gallbladder inflammation days after an earlier stent procedure. During drainage, the self-expanding metal stent deployed into the kidney cyst instead of the gallbladder. The case, shown with scans and video, warns endoscopists how anatomy can mislead. Recognizing the error quickly limited the harm.
