Clinical Trial: GALLVIA Trial: EUS-Guided vs Transpapillary Gallbladder Drainage for Acute Calculous Cholecystitis

U.S., April 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07536191) titled 'GALLVIA Trial: EUS-Guided vs Transpapillary Gallbladder Drainage for Acute Calculous Cholecystitis' on April 04.

Brief Summary: This multicenter, prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial compares endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) with endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (EGBS) in poor surgical candidates with acute calculous cholecystitis. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo either EUS-GBD using a lumen-apposing metal stent or EGBS using a transpapillary plastic stent. The primary endpoint is clinical success, defined as successful gallbladder drainage with...
