Summary

Interventional radiology offers minimally invasive treatments for gallstone disease, including percutaneous cholecystostomy for acute cholecystitis and stone extraction. These techniques provide options for high-risk patients and may prevent gallstone recurrence.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Gallstone disease management is evolving with interventional radiology.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly important for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current interventional radiologic techniques for gallstone disease.
  • To highlight the benefits and applications of these procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous cholecystostomy for acute cholecystitis.
  • Contact dissolution and percutaneous extraction of gallstones.
  • Intracorporeal lithotripsy and percutaneous chemical ablation.

Main Results:

  • Percutaneous cholecystostomy is lifesaving in critically ill elderly patients.
