First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study looks at 140 adults who need a plastic stent placed in their bile duct. If their bile has bacteria, they are randomly assigned to have the stent replaced after 1 month or the usual 3 months. The goal is to see if earlier replacement lowers the chance of the stent clogging and causing a serious infection called cholangitis.
