Is a CBD stent always placed in an ERCP during a CBD gallstone removal? If placed, will that stent need to be removed in a few months? My brother had Choledocholithiasis which got treated and the doctor said it is cured and needs no follow up?

Having a concern: Recently had an ERCP to remove stones from the bile duct and recovered without any complications, however will the ERCP or Choledocholithiasis now put me at a high risk of developing biliary stricture?

A member asked:

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..?
