The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for creating a drain within a duct of a patients pancreatico-biliary system. The method may include positioning a first elongate member distally of a stricture within the duct, wherein a magnetic portion is disposed at or near a proximal end of the first elongate member. A second elongate member is positioned proximally of the stricture within the duct, wherein a magnetic portion is disposed at or near a distal end of the second elongate member. The proximal end of the first elongate member is spaced apart from the distal end of the second elongate member, and the magnetic portion of the first elongate member and the magnetic portion of the second elongate member are attracted to each other so that at least one of the first elongate member and the second elongate member is pulled into the stricture within the duct.
