Fig. 2. Cholangiogram showing the removal of a retrievable, fully covered, self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) with a detached string. (A) An anastomotic biliary stricture (ABS) developed after living-donor liver transplantation, which was not resolved by multiple endoscopic sessions of balloon dilatation with multiple plastic stenting. (B) FCSEMS and plastic stent were inserted in the ABS. (C) After two months, the plastic stent and FCSEMS were planned to be removed. (D) The removal string detached from the FCSEMS. (E) The FCSEMS was easily removed without complications using biopsy forceps. (F) The ABS had resolved.
