A Rare Occurrence of Choledochoduodenal Fistula in a Patient with Obstructive Jaundice Secondary to Pancreatic Cancer after Biliary Stent Placement

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Intestinal perforation post biliary stent placement is extremely uncommon and is induced by different factors. Choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF) caused by biliary stent-induced perforation is also rare occurrence. We present a case of obstructive jaundice due to pancreatic cancer with a development of CDF following biliary stent placement and was managed by Whipple’s procedure successfully. CDF could have resulted from a bile duct rupture induced by pressure necrosis and inflammation generated by direct contact between the common bile duct and the stent's edge.
