Suggest Treatment For Strictures In Pancreas Duct Causing Recurring Infections

I was told at mayo clinic that I have strictures up high in my liver and not in the main ducts. Caused by infections. I had a whipple procedure 12 years ago. Because of a stricture in the pancreas duct. My pancreas makes stones. Is there any help. I am 70 years old next month. And am really quite healthy overall with this problem. I have been having infections for about 6 years. Have documented about. 15 times

Hello,

If you are symptomatic you can go for ERCP stenting. Consult a gastroenterologist and he will direct you accordingly.
