When should a stent be inserted

[Guest guest]

Should a stent be put in a very blocked area for precautionary

reasons?? I have a small area in my duct that is very blocked. There

was an attempt to stent it three years ago but it was abandoned since

I was not tolerating it well and not under a general so I began

thrashing. The procedure was abandoned. Pancreatitis then set in and

the drs decided that nothing should be done at that time. Since then

I have seen another dr. I have no symptoms but lately I am having

some pain in my upper right quandrant that I have written here about

lately. No fever chills, etc. I am wondering now if I should have

this stented? I am trying to get into my dr at UCLA for advice. I

have not been actively seeing anyone since I have no symptoms. To

stent or not to stent??
