Yes, an ERCP can remove the stone and restore the flow of bile. It is hard to tell ahead of time if a stent will be needed. That will probably be decided during the ERCP by the performing physician.

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?
