Abstract
- Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has emerged as a promising alternative treatment to high-risk patients suffering from acute cholecystitis and are unfit for surgery. EUS-GBD has similar rates of technical and clinical success compared to other alternative treatments, but the procedure has been shown to reduce adverse event rates and the need for repeated interventions. This review aims to provide a summary of the recent development in the EUS-GBD technique with various devices employed in the procedure.
