Abstract

EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is emerging as a valuable treatment for acute cholecystitis (AC) in patients unfit for surgery. When lumen-apposing metal stents are used, large-caliber access to the gallbladder allows for subsequent direct peroral endoscopic cholecystoscopy (POEC) and eventual cholecystolithotomy (CL), offering a potentially "curative" solution for frailer patients. The aim of this series was to evaluate the outcome of these procedures in oncologic patients experiencing AC, with a specific focus on chemotherapy continuity.
