Technical failure of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is often attributed to device failure.To rectify this problem, we developed a single-pigtail plastic stent (SPPS) for EUS-GBD.We retrospectively att nighthawk hotspot reviewed the cases of four patients who underwent EUS-GBD for acute cholecystitis.
To prepare the SPPS, a 7.5-Fr endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tube was cut to an appropriate length.The use of SPPS during EUS-GBD was successful from both technical and clinical standpoints.
The cartoon martian with big head SPPS spontaneously detached 57 days after the procedure in patient 4 and 412 days after the procedure in patient 1.Patient 1 developed cholecystitis after 426 days and was managed with antibiotics.The other three patients did not develop any complications after surgery.
In conclusion, we designed a new SPPS dedicated to EUS-GBD and established its technical feasibility and clinical effectiveness.
