3 months ago my brother had a bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone so 25 days later he was treated with ERCP and the stone was extracted. He had no past issues with liver. My only question is, will Choledocholithiasis cause liver cirrhosis?
My brother had a bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone. So, he was treated with ERCP exactly 25 days later after his first symptoms (abdominal pain and mild jaundice). My question is, will Choledocholithiasis cause liver cirrhosis?
My brother had an ERCP 8 years ago to remove a gallstone which was completely removed. But I'm not sure if a CBD stent was placed or not. He has shown no symptoms of any stent blockage till date. Is it likely that no stent was placed?
Will a Choledocholithiasis patient have a stent placed in his CBD during ERCP? The patient has got his stone removed completely. Is it necessary that a stent is always placed that needs to be removed in a few months? His ERCP was done 8 years ago..?
My cousin, 54, had ERCP to remove gallstones from his bile duct. After the removal of stone, occlusion cholangiogram stated that the CBD is now clear. Just want to know on his behalf, will this now put him at an increased risk of biliary stricture?
