Embolization coil migration to the gastrointestinal tract is a rare complication. This report describes our experience of coil migration in the stomach and spontaneous excretion. A 77-year-old man, who was diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with multiple lymph node metastases, had a bleeding left gastric artery and splenic artery pseudoaneurysm associated with an abdominal lymph node mass, that was treated by coil embolization, after which the coil migrated into the stomach. Because there were no complications such as active bleeding or peritonitis, our patient was followed carefully, and excretion of the coil was documented. No standard management exists for migrated coils. Conservative treatment is an option, as in this case. |
