Abstract:
We have used a prototype double bubble cholecystostomy catheter in four very ill patients. This has been done under local anaesthetic using a Seldinger technique, ultrasound guidance, and a trans-peritoneal approach to the gallbladder. The catheter provides drainage, cholangiography, and is intended to allow instrumentation of the biliary tract at a later stage.
