Initial experience with endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage.

Conclusions: The EUSGBD seems to be an effective and safe treatment for acute cholecystitis in patients unsuitable for cholecystectomy. It can also be used to treat jaundice caused by obstruction of the common bile duct, when no other methods can be used. The method is particularly promising in cases of concurrent acute cholecystitis and common bile duct obstruction. PMID: 31118983 [PubMed]
