Safety and Efficacy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Gallbladder Drainage Under Endoscopist-directed Conscious Sedation: a Prospective Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This prospective single-center study was designed by the investigators to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) performed under endoscopist-directed conscious sedation in elderly, high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis. The study aims to assess whether conscious sedation represents a viable alternative to deep sedation or general anesthesia in this fragile patient population.
