Archimedes Bio-degradable Bile Duct Stent Study

ERCP is an accepted mode of treatment and patients rarely need surgery for bile leaks and bile duct stents. Endoscopic management involves sphincterotomy (cutting open the Sphincter of Oddi) and insertion of a plastic or metal stent. Instead of placing a plastic stent bio-degradable stent will be placed. They will be followed up on Day 1, 7,30, 60,90 and 180 days. they will have abdominal x-ray on day 90 and day180.
