PG - 21156 LID - 10.1038/s41598-023-48543-1 [doi] LID - 21156 AB - Although long-term stent placement via endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) reportedly reduces cholecystitis recurrence in patients unfit to undergo cholecystectomy, it can increase the frequency of other late adverse events (AEs) such as cholangitis. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of endoscopic gallbladder inside-stenting (EGB-IS) with lavage and aspiration. This prospective, single-center, pilot study enrolled 83 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis who were poor candidates for surgery. A dedicated catheter with eight side holes was used for lavage and aspiration, and a dedicated single-pigtail stent equipped with a thread was used for EGB-IS. Outcomes such as technical success, clinical success, early AEs, recurrence of cholecystitis, and other symptomatic late AEs associated with EGB-IS with lavage and aspiration were evaluated. The technical and clinical success rates were 80.7% (67/83) and 98.5% (66/67), respectively. The rate of early AEs was 3.6% (3/83). The rate of recurrent cholecystitis was 4.5% (3/66) and that of symptomatic late AEs (besides cholecystitis) was 6.1% (4/66). Consequently, the rate of overall late AEs (cholecystitis plus other events) was 10.6% (7/66). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year cumulative incidence rates of all late AEs were 3.2%, 11.2%, and 18.9%, respectively. EGB-IS with lavage and aspiration for calculous cholecystitis showed promising results in poor surgical candidates. EGB-IS may be useful when EGBS with long-term stent placement is planned, since prevention of cholecystitis recurrence, without a rise in the incidence of other AEs, is anticipated. CI - (c) 2023.
