Hi – My son who is 27 was diagnosed about 2 months ago. He too went through 3 bouts of sepsis in the beginning due to duct blockages. His GI doctor who does the ERCP procedures now does stent replacements about every 3-4 weeks. That has prevented him from the recurring sepsis. We were also told that although there are pros to metal stents they can block of portions of the liver. So, we have opted to stick with plastic stents that can be moved, replaced, etc.
