Magnetic cholecysto-duodenal anastomosis.

Conclusions: Magnetic cholecysto-duodenal anastomosis for gallbladder drainage appears safe and feasible in the animal model. The anastomoses are patent, leak-free, and without inflammation from the presence of foreign material. Technical modifications for magnet delivery under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance are currently underway. PMID: 31682532 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
