Eighty-three patients who underwent urgent ERCP for acute cholangitis complicating choledocholithiasis with biliary stent insertion mostly without papillotomy or with papillotomy when stone extraction was attempted, had retained long-term biliary stents of more than 6 months from insertion (group A) vs. On the other hand, a recent retrospective study comparing the outcome in 3 groups of patients with choledocholithiasis unfit for definitive endoscopic stone removal or surgery using plastic biliary stenting (7 Fr, 7 cm), showed cholangitis rate of 2.9% and 8.6% in 6-and 12-month replacement groups, respectively, and 35.3% in the third group in whom stent replacement was carried out due to developing acute cholangitis with a median time for replacement of 16.3 months [20] . ./cache/cord-267933-rg1yus8g.txt ./txt/cord-267933-rg1yus8g.txt
