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.
