| Core Tip |
Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PCT) is commonly used as a bridge or alternative to surgery in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis, yet optimal timing and catheter management remain uncertain. In this retrospective study of 174 patients, early PCT (≤ 4 days from diagnosis) was associated with significantly higher survival compared to delayed intervention. Despite its clinical benefit, more than half of patients remained catheter-dependent, and only one-third underwent interval cholecystectomy. These findings highlight the need for standardized PCT management protocols and structured follow-up to optimize long-term outcomes in this fragile population. |
