Drain gallbladder with ultrasound endoscopy if surgery isn’t possible
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 international study tracks how hospitals treat severe acute gallstone inflammation of the gallbladder (acute calculous cholecystitis) and what outcomes patients experience. Your participation helps doctors understand the best management strategies for this serious condition.
This trial compares a new, less invasive gallbladder drainage procedure (done with an endoscope) to standard care without surgery in people who have gallbladder issues but are not healthy enough for surgery or choose not to have it. It aims to see if drainage helps prevent future problems.
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
