| Core Tip |
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) was recently used to treat acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of removal of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) at 4-wk after EUS-GBD. Twelve patients with acute calculous cholecystitis underwent EUS-GBD with a SEMS. The rates of technical success, clinical success, and adverse events were 100%, 100%, and 0%, respectively. Recurrence was seen in one patient (8.3%). The median follow-up period after EUS-GBD was 304 d. Removal of the SEMS at 4-wk after SEMS placement might avoid migration of the stent and recurrence of cholecystitis due to food impaction.
