Compare draining vs suctioning fluid for gallbladder inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two procedures—aspirating (suctioning) bile vs draining it—when the gallbladder is acutely inflamed. It may help patients avoid or delay urgent surgery when acute gallbladder removal is not needed right away.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute gallbladder inflammation (acute cholecystitis).
- Your care team does not think you need urgent gallbladder surgery right now.
- Your condition is not expected to involve an emergency need for gallbladder removal within about 5 days.
- You do not have liver cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
- You do not have fluid build-up in the belly (ascites), bile duct stones, or signs of cancer.

This study compares two minimally invasive ways to drain an infected gallbladder in people who are too sick for surgery. It aims to find which method works better and improves quality of life.
This trial compares two ways to drain and treat gallbladder problems without removing the gallbladder entirely: one uses an endoscope (a camera tube passed through your mouth), and the other uses a tube placed through your skin. It's designed for patients who are too sick for traditional gallbladder surgery or who want to keep their gallbladder.
This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study tests a specific technique for draining the gallbladder using ultrasound guidance. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for people who need this procedure.
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder after a drainage procedure for severe gallbladder inflammation. It helps doctors decide when surgery is safest and most effective for you.
This trial compares two ways to drain an inflamed gallbladder in patients who cannot safely have surgery: one approach goes through the stomach wall using ultrasound guidance, and the other goes through a bile duct opening. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer problems.
