"She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August"
Gross, and also, was it an infection or a dirty stent or both?
If the stent wasn’t functioning it can lead to biliary obstruction and possibly cholangitis (infection/inflammation of the biliary tree).
