EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is utilized for the treatment of acute cholecystitis and symptomatic cholelithiasis in patients who are poor operative candidates. Over the last several years, improved techniques and accessories have facilitated GBD.

2023年3月24日 · EUS-GBD should be considered in patients who are at high risk for surgery, without evidence of free gallbladder (GB) perforation, and have the ability to tolerate anesthesia and a therapeutic endoscopic procedure.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) has emerged as a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative to both percutaneous and endoscopic transpapillary GBD in patients with acute cholecystitis.

2025年1月1日 · Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is currently considered the preferred treatment for high surgical risk patients with acute cholecystitis. EUS-GBD indications are also expanding for other conditions such as …

Introduction: EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is recognized as an effective minimally invasive alternative technique mainly in managing patients with acute cholecystitis not eligible for cholecystectomy and, more recently, for jaundice relief in inoperable patients with distant malignant biliary obstruction.

EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) recently emerged as a novel minimally invasive therapeutic intervention, an alternative to percutaneous cholecystostomy (PT-GBD), for patients at high surgical risk with acute cholecystitis (AC). 1 The advent of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMSs), allowing adherence of the mobile gallbladder with the ...

2024年11月18日 · EUS-GBD can be performed for three indications: (i) high-risk surgical patients with acute cholecystitis; (ii) internalization in patients who underwent PT-GBD; and (iii) patients suffering from malignant biliary obstruction with failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD).

Professional societies have endorsed endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) as an alternative to percutaneous cholecystostomy in high-risk surgical patients with acute cholecystitis.

2021年10月18日 · EUS-GBD remains an emerging treatment for gallbladder disease in nonoperative candidates. Our study is the first to demonstrate safety and technical success in NC cases. Our study also demonstrates some risk of recurrent gallbladder disease within 1 year despite EUS-GBD.

Introduction EUS-guided gall bladder drainage (EUS-GBD) for management of symptomatic gallbladder disease has been shown to be safe and effective in high surgical risk patients with data lacking in patients with cirrhosis.
