Description
Summary:Percutaneous cholecystostomy is used for a variety of clinical problems. Percutaneous cholecystostomy was utilized in a novel setting to resolve a problematic endoscopic situation. Percutaneous cholecystostomy permitted successful removal of a broken and trapped endoscopic biliary catheter, in addition to helping treat cholecystitis. Another valuable use of percutaneous cholecystostomy is demonstrated, as well as emphasizing the importance of the interplay between endoscopists and interventional radiologists.
