The patient was undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography when the duodenoscope was in pt at the ampulla, about to cannulate the bile duct.No interventions had been performed yet with the duodenoscope.The sphincterotome was passed through the scope and the md felt resistance was met while trying to push the sphincterotome through the channel.Then a portion of an old stent was noted on the scope screen.The scope was immediately removed from the patient and it was noted that an old stent from some previous pt/procedure was stuck in the scope and never came out during scope processing.The scope was sequestered and given to scope processing, evening shift supervisor.
