A preliminary report of percutaneous cholecystostomy under ultrasonography and fluoroscopy guidance

Abstract

We carried out percutaneous cholecystostomy and cholangiography without incident under guidance of ultrasonography and fluoroscopy in three patients with obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and acute cholecystitis. The technique appears to be safe and can be performed at the patient's bedside, which gives it an advantage over surgical drainage. Moreover, the percutaneous route can be used for biliary drainage when the transhepatic approach is not possible.
