Endoscopic pancreatic stenting (EPS) is performed to relieve obstruction to pancreatic juice flow in patients with various pancreatic conditions [1]. Migration of plastic pancreatic stents is one complication of EPS and occurs at a rate of 5%–6% [2]. The migrated stent should be removed because it may induce a severe pancreatic condition [3]. However, endoscopic removal is technically difficult owing to the small diameter, bending course, and strictures of the pancreatic duct [3, 4]. We describe an innovative technique for removing a migrated pancreatic stent. A 16-year-old male patient who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for treatment of traumatic pancreatic injury presented with mild pancreatitis due to pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stenosis. EPS was successfully performed under double-balloon endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Four months later, computed tomography revealed proximal migration of the pancreatic stent (▶Fig. 1). Conventional approaches for retrieval using a basket catheter and snare failed. A handmade catheter with a guidewire loop was created using a double-lumen catheter (uneven double-lumen catheter; Piolax Medical Devices, Kanagawa, Japan) and a 0.025 inch guidewire (Radifocus; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) (▶Fig. 2) as follows. First, the catheter was cut to E-Videos
