Is 88 Years Too Late For Having An Endoscopy To Unblock Bile Ducts?
My mother is 88 years old and has blocked bile ducts due to gall stones. We have been told they would do an endoscopy if she is stable enough to try to unblock them and if not than surgery. She is in medium health, has high blood pressure, high anxiety and maybe parkinsons. What age is too old?

Hello dear
Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .
@ Age is not too late for her procedure , but she must be fit medically to
undergo the procedure , so she requires anesthetic clearance before
proceeding to the endoscopy .
Hope this will help you definitely .
