re... stents/chad

[Guest guest]

hi chad, i think my stent will be placed into the common bile duct. i am not to sure whatthe doc. is going to do as we still don't know the extent of strictures within the bile ducts. I have seen transplant patients with stents like yours but i am not aware of any of them having them in for very long. my case is also complex by the fact that i had Portal Vein Hypertention and has to have TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt) after my secound transplant. So i have a shunt inserted into my portal vein and now it looks like i will have a stent in as well. I will ask my doc about internal stents within the bile ducts...My bleed accur hours after the OP so the doctors went back in straight away and sorted things out. my main problem after that was aggressive rejection. that i fought very hard to win. how long do you think your

external stent will be in place for? hopefully it will not be too long now. one thing i have learnt is that hope is always there around the corner. well i hope this has inform you a bit more and i will post about those stents as soon as i know when i will be having it done...It should of been the 24th april. It was cancel because the computer system had broken down. now they is a week to catch up to before me. vee
