Stenting

[Guest guest]

The group talked a little bit about stenting a short while ago(sorry I

don't get to visit as often as I'd like). I am still a little

confused and have a couple of questions.

First, what triggers stenting? Is it elevated bili, ERCP/MRCP

findings, and/or infections? What kind of bili level, how tight a

stricture, and/or how frequent of cholangistis attacks? What

triggered your stenting? What is the basis that some of your

physicians use to say, " Ok, it's time to stent " ?

Thanks for the info!
