Summary
Endoscopic gallbladder stenting effectively treats acute cholecystitis in high-risk patients. A novel double-guidewire technique successfully navigated cystic duct guidewire looping, enabling stent placement.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Endoscopic procedures
- Biliary interventions
Background:
- Acute cholecystitis poses a significant risk for surgical candidates.
- Endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder stenting is an alternative treatment.
- Guidewire looping in the cystic duct can complicate stent placement.
