This is an interventional treatment trial for Cholecystitis, Acute

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 100 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Ages 18-100 years or age
  2. Both genders
  3. Diagnosis of acute cholecystitis by TG13 criteria.
  4. Patients who are able to give consent
  5. Patients who are deemed poor surgical candidates for cholecystectomy by the surgical/medical team.

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Scheduled removal

Observation

Arm Description

This group involves patients who will have the LAMS removed immediately after all the stones have been cleared from the gallbladder

This group involves patients who will be followed closely for 1 year after all the stones have been removed from the gallbladder. These patients will keep the stent in place for 1 year and at that time the patients will be offered removal of the stent.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Recurrence of GB findings
To compare the recurrence of GB findings in patients undergoing EUS guided GB drainage with a lumen-apposing metal stent(LAMS) assigned to scheduled stent removal vs those assigned to long-term observation only.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rate of adverse events related to LAMS
To compare the rate of LAMS related adverse events in these two groups

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study will compare the outcomes of patients with gallstone related cholecystitis who are poor surgical candidates undergoing EUS guided cholecystoenterostomy via a lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS).
Detailed Description
The study will include patients with stone related cholecystitis that are not adequate surgical candidates that will be treated with EUS guided cholecystoenterostomy with endoscopic stone extraction. Patients will be randomized to stent removal immediately after gallstones have been removed or to observation for 1 year with the stent in place. Outcomes to be measured include recurrence of stone disease and rate of complications from the procedure in both groups
