Patients who receive drug-eluting (coated) stents are recommended to take aspirin and one of these antiplatelet medications for at least a year after stent implantation. Taking aspirin and a second antiplatelet medication, such as Plavix, Effient, or Brilinta, is called dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). If you are a patient who is about to undergo a medical procedure with a physician other than the cardiologist who prescribed DAPT for you, be sure to talk with both doctors.
A stent is a small plastic or metal tube, which is pushed through the endoscope and into a narrowed area in the bile duct or pancreatic duct and left in place after the ERCP. Stenting can relieve aundice and sometimes pain, by allowing the bile to drain freely into the intestine.
