Proximally migrated straight stents can be successfully retrieved using standard accessories. The use of 7-Fr size stent, stents indwelling for more than three months, sphincteroplasty at index ERCP, stent length < 10 cm and dilated bile duct were associated with increased risk of proximal migration of straight biliary plastic stents. After propensity score matching, the use of 7-Fr size stents and stent indwelling for over three months were endoscopy-related factors associated with proximal migration.
