This is a diagram of the bile duct system. Mary's blockage is above the point where the Gallbladder joins the main branch, marked here as "Common Bile Duct." The Doctor inserted two stints, one in each branch above the "Common bile duct" junction.
Amazing they can do this work by sticking a device down a person's throat, into the stomach, find the little hole in the intestine and then snake up the ductwork to insert stents! Now we just need the bile to flow so her plumbing can get back to normal.
