## TL;DR

A rare case shows how a pancreatic stent can migrate into a biliary stent, causing acute cholangitis.

## Contribution

Highlights a rare complication of stent migration leading to acute cholangitis.

## Key findings

- A pancreatic stent migrated into a biliary stent causing acute cholangitis.
- The obstruction occurred despite appropriate initial stent placement.
- The case emphasizes the need for careful biliary stent placement to avoid complications.

## Abstract

Jimbo and colleagues report a rare case of acute cholangitis caused by migration of a pancreatic stent into a biliary stent, despite appropriate placement. The pancreatic stent obstructed the biliary stent, underscoring the need for careful placement of biliary stents to prevent migration‐related complications following endoscopic procedures.
