The management of acute cholecystitis in high-risk surgical patients requires the use of alternative procedures for gallbladder drainage. This has historically been accomplished via percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD). Over the past 20 years, advancements in endoscopy have produced alternative techniques for endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD). These drainage options have evolved from endoscopic transpapillary gallbladder drainage (ETPGBD) with an externalized nasocholecystic drain, to transmural gallbladder drainage with internalized stents. The aim of this article is to present a focused review of the current literature on transmural EUS-GBD with cholecystic stent placement for the treatment of acute cholecystitis.
