Hello, I hope you are well, it is important to know what was the cause for the placement of the stent since they are usually placed before benign processes such as lithiasis in the bile ducts or as a form of palliation in malignant obstructive processes. Bile stents should be monitored against the risk that they may clog, migrate or even cause infections such as cholangitis, so many cases and depending on the type of stent they should be replaced every 3 months.
