rich, did they tell you why they can't stent the liver? It's not really that big a procedure, they put you under anesthesia, and insert the stent in the liver through a tube in her throat.

Is she too physically frail at this point? If there's an actual blockage that they can see on the CT scan, I really can't think of a reason they would not do the stent placement.
