RESUMEN
Biliary stent insertion is a well-established treatment of bile duct obstruction. Stent migration is a late-onset complication and can be life-threatening. We present a case of proximal biliary stent migration to the portal vein. An upper endoscopy was performed, and the biliary stent was retracted. Bleeding was seen from the papilla of Vater. The hepatoduodenal ligament was explored, and the common bile duct was found fully adherent to the portal vein, with a fistula between the common bile duct and the portal vein. The patient underwent surgery with extrahepatic bile duct resection and hepaticoduodenostomy. The patient survived and was discharged without surgical postoperative complications on postoperative Day 8.
RESUMEN
Dysfunction of the tibialis posterior muscle is the most common cause of adult acquired flat foot. Tibialis posterior muscle weakness has been observed in several patient populations, including those in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. However, the influence of tibialis posterior weakness on gait mechanics is not fully understood, although gait instability has been reported. In 24 healthy participants, 3-dimension lower limb kinematics and kinetics during walking were evaluated bilaterally, before and after, a muscle fatigue protocol aiming to decrease the right foot adductor muscles strength, including the tibialis posterior muscle. The 3-dimension gait kinematics and kinetics were analyzed with statistical parametric mapping. The stance phase duration was increased for the right side. The right ankle external rotation moment decreased, and the left hip extension moment increased with reduced muscle strength compared with normal strength conditions. These changes are similar in patients with dysfunction in the tibialis posterior muscle, indicating that compensatory strategies observed in these patients might be related to the loss of tibialis posterior muscle strength. Such strategies may involve the unaffected side.
