5 stents is approaching “full metal jacket” (look up the term in this context when you have a chance). I don’t know enough to comment, but they would have a damn hard time getting me to agree to that.
Stents are one of those procedures that pay the doctor pretty well.

Well, it was either that or I’d be dead. I’d been in York Hospital for 23 days, losing 131lbs, 15 ERCPs (endoscopies), died 2x (obviously they resuscitated me) and far too weak and emaciated from severe/acute pancreatitis, to go thru a bypass op. Not much of a choice.
