Rupture is rare: A duct rupture such as this is rare, most often is "iatrogenic" meaning it occurs during some mechanical intervention. Depending on where the rupture is, it can be surgically corrected or stented via an upper endoscopy. "high risk" usually implicates the existence of other medical issues that may pose risk for surgery, an anesthesia consultation is warranted in this situation.
