  "abstract": "Esophageal fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are considered effective in managing perforations. Stent migration distally is a common adverse event of FCSEMSs and occurs more frequently compared to partially covered stents. Techniques, such as endoscopic suturing and over-the-scope clips (OTSCs), are used to improve retention. We report a rare case of proximal migration of FCSEMS into the pharynx that occurred unexpectedly after FCSEMS placement to seal an esophageal perforation.",
