Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Spitting of blood may be due to many reasons. He may have cirrhosis of liver or some problems in lung. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and x ray chest. Search the cause and take treatment accordingly. Its not due to stent.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
