Core Tip	A patient presented with a disordered stent structure as a result of failure of repeated attempts at gastroscopic removal. An ST-E tube was inserted into the esophagus. An alligator forceps was inserted into the ST-E tube alongside a gastroscope. The stent wire was gripped and pulled up into the tube. Biopsy forceps were inserted into the lower section of the stent through the biopsy hole to fix the stent, while the alligator forceps continued to be used to pull up the stent wire until the Z-shaped metal loops became elongated stripes. All the stent wire was removed through the ST-E tube.
