Stents don’t stay open or clean for very long. Maximum duration in estimated at 12 weeks before it needs to be replaced. My stents lasted on average 8-9 weeks. Mine moved. Once up
Into my liver, once downward. I had four ERCPs before Whipple. I read somewhere there are expert ERCP stent doctors - I think that’s a great find. In the midst of chemo, the surgeries and stents were not good to deal with but necessary. And ERCP procedures have risks too.

I too went through so much 20 years ago. 3 ERCP''s, botched stent placement, perforated duodenum, pancreatitis, amylase and lipase elevations, gall bladder infected, emergency surgery to remove, fast forward, 4th moderna covid vaccine caused elevated amylase and lipase, fever, abdominal cramping, took a month after receiving covid vaccine for things to settle down, now suffering with recurrent pancreatitis, cramping, right upper flank pain, front and back.
Watching diet, acupuncture seems to settle things down.
I repeated this in a previous post, when the body goes through trauma, it takes a long time to heal and you are always left with side effects. I am a 67 year old wife, mother and grandmother. I live my life, enjoying my family, less doctors appointments, no more covid vaccinations.
(NOTE: I just had a Cat Scan and MRCP.) Everything looked good.
You take care, saying prayers for you.
Thank you listening.
