My dad went to the hospital to have bags and lines removed and to have a possible metal stent put in his bile ducts for the bile to drain into his intestines- he has been recently diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer with mets to his pancreas and lymph nodes- he had the drains and bags put in last Friday- they said his temperature is to low to do the procedure and are waiting to see if his temp rises what does this mean?
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. It will be something else than temperature. Temperature is nothing to do with placement of metal stent in CBD. It may be high bilirubin or high TLC which are required to be lowered rather for placement of metal stent hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
