U.S., May 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07575360) titled 'PT-GBD to EUS-GBD Conversion Versus Standard Management in High-Risk Acute Cholecystitis Patients' on April 23.
Brief Summary: Acute cholecystitis in high-risk surgical patients is commonly managed with percutaneous trans-hepatic gallbladder drainage (PT-GBD). However, long-term adverse events, tube dysfunction, and recurrent cholecystitis remain significant concerns. This retrospective multicenter observational study compares long-term outcomes of conversion from PT-GBD to endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) versus standard management in high-risk surgical patients with ...
