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 was diagnosed with Choledocholithiasis so after several tests he went ahead with ERCP and got the stone removed after 25 days of his first symptoms. His CBD is now clear. Will the amount of time taken (25 days) cause him liver cirrhosis?
