Abstract

Percutaneous gallbladder drainage is the treatment of choice in high-risk surgical patients with acute cholecystitis. However, continuous drainage is associated with patient discomfort and risk of inadvertent drain removal which may lead to bile leakage and recurrent cholecystitis. Recently, EUS-guided transmural drainage has been reported as an alternative treatment option.
